Default S&S engines question

Are S&S engines reworked Harley Davidson engines or are they a separate company. Also will they replace the stock 96 Harley Engine without out modification of the engine mounts on a 2010 FLHR. First time harley owner so bear with me on these questions. Thanks

They are a separate company using their own cases and many other parts. They make an excellent product. Call them.

S&S is their own company.

S&S are EVO based motors...the 96" HD motor is a Twin Cam.
Mounts are different.

I think someone makes a mount that adapts the motor.
I couldn't tell you who makes it, though.

Come to think of it, I believe the aftermarket mounts are to install the TC into an EVO frame.
I don't believe I've ever seen mounts to put an EVO into a TC frame.

S&S offers a truly complete 124” engine to replace the stock carbureted engines from 1999-'06 or fuel injected 1999-'05 engines. No engines are available for 2006 Dyna™ or any 2007 model. S&S T124 engines are available in silver powercoat, wrinkle black powdercoat, and polished finishes. Match the original engine in your bike or go for a custom look.

Fitment ConsiderationsComplete S&S T124 engines are designed to replace the existing Harley-DavidsonŽ Twin Cam 88Ž engine in a stock chassis, making it easy to get the performance you want from your late model motorcycle. Take the stock engine out and put an S&S engine in. It’s that simple.

Due to changes in S&S crankcase design, installation of an S&S T124 engine in 1999-2005 Dyna™ models requires oil line installation kit #31-0424. This kit contains a special transmission top cover and oil lines for Dyna models. For
installation in 2000-’06 FLT models the stock transmission top cover may be used, but oil line installation kit #31-0425 is required.

Engines with internal counter balancers are not available from S&S to replace Harley-DavidsonŽ Twin Cam 88B™ engines. Complete engines are also not available for 2006 Dyna™ models or any 2007 or later models. For these applications we recommend our 124” Hot Set Up KitŽ.

His 2010 has an upper motor mount that attatches to the front head.

I always wondered how S&S got away with making their motor so closely resembling HD motors? Didn't HD sue one of the gap bike makers (I think Kawasaki) for making a motor that sounded like an HD and win?
