The Twin Cam engine and trans bolt together and to the frame as one unit. Evo style engines and trans bolt to the frame on their own mounts and are connected via the primary. Two totally different style frames. Someone does make an adapter so that you can bolt a twin cam engine into an evo style frame using and evo style trans. I just don't remember who.
