Default TC 96 to EVO engine swap?

Hi folks!

was wondering if it would be possible to do the swap on a 2007 Softail from the 96ci engine to an EVO engine?

Would like to hear your opinions about this.
Thank you.

Find a dude with an Evo powered softail that would trade you bikes.

If you have located some wildly built up crazy fast Evo motor thats looking for a home put it in an older bike and do a project. There is some serious hassle involved in converting your scoot over to Evo power.
