New name for TC88/96
Why didnt HD come up with a cool nickname for the TC88 nad TC96 engine.
Knucklehead
Panhead
Shovelhead
Evolution (still sort of cool)
TC88 (UGGGGGGGGLLLLLLEEEEEE)
I have heard them called BLOCKHEAD by a few people.
Suggestions?

...Harley doesn't give em those names.. Pan, shovel, knuckle, EVO, fathead and twinkie all come from street..most based on how the engine looks...so, come up with a new name and see if it sticks..may I suggest Twinkie + for TC96.

RE: New name for TC88/96
According to this site:
http://www.whybike.com/motorcycle260.htm
here is the definition of a BLOCKHEAD.
Blockhead - Harley-Davidson's innovative Evolution® V-Twin engine.
Looks like we are going to have to come up with soething different for the TC88. However in sticky with tradition the evo and tc engines do 'look' the same. So we can still use Blockhead. As stated the name refers to the look of the cylinder head covers. I like Blockhead.

RE: New name for TC88/96
the same site notes this:
http://www.whybike.com/motorcycle260.htm
Fathead® - A Twin-Cam engine introduced from 1999 and is still featured till this day!
So this would be the TC88/96 engines. I like that too. Maybe even better than blockhead.
My vote has changed for FATHEAD.
