88 to 110
Anybody here know if I was to obtain the entire engine minus the main case from a 110 if I could retrofit my 88" ?
Have an opportunity to pick up a 110SE engine take off from someone who upgraded to a 120, includes, barrels, heads, cams, oil pump, flywheel, pistons, rods, crankshaft, ect

It wouldn't be just a bolt on if thats what Ur asking.
Plus the se 110 startes as a 96'' motor.
U can make Urs a 110 but U'll need to talk to a motor builder and it ain't gonna be cheap.

Pay very short money for the SE parts, many will not be usable. Then bring you bike to a builder and pay them and expect to pay them a fair price for machine shop work and installation.

You are talking about A LOT of money to build your engine to a 110" motor in this way. Most of your costs will be in labor and machine work. The difference between whatever you are able to get these parts for, and what a completely new set of parts would cost will be relatively minor in the overall scheme of a project like this. If you already wanted a 110" motor, and are/were going to do it anyway . . . this might be a good deal. But I'd not embark on this on the basis of a good deal on these parts alone.

5-7k for a 110-124 build. Ir would entail removing the engine from the frame. New pistons and cylinders, stroker flywheel, case boring, throttle body, cams, ect. Probably a new clutch as well, the stock clutch is not up to the task.
The upside is a 124 can make 150 TQ / 150 HP.
The downside is you'll never get your money back out of it when you sell it.

which way U going? a decent 95 build will be about 1/3 of the money of going to 110, and most are very happy with the 95 results.

Well I haven't given it much thought since I posted this, have a lot of house projects eating up my wallet. I figured for 800 bucks if the 88 case was the same as all the others, this has barrels, cams, heads, basically everything mius the case which would make it seem like an easy swapout.
But from the sounds of things on here it doesn't. Maybe another day, annother bike... right now it's fast enough for me, just thought a 110 would be neat between the framerails.

from my knowledge, you gonna bore the cases enough to fit the 110 spigots in there and have any material left strength wise. i wouldnt do it. just buy a complete engine. unless the seller is dang near giving the parts away.

The 110" cylinders are 4.00" bore. Plenty of 4.060" and 4.125" cylinders have been fitted to TC88 cases without any issues. The OP has much bigger problems with the swap; primary side won't flange up.
