Smile 2007 Road King Classic Engine Advice

I own a 2007 Road King Classic with high miles, I want to rebuild this bike and I have limited experience. I bought a 103 Twin from a 2014 Street Glide with 8 miles on it. Will this engine work and what issues will I face? It currently has 96-6 speed, HD factory. Will the existing primary work? How about the existing transmission? Thanks in advance. I already know I'm asking a lot of dumb questions but I have to start somewhere.

You aint got any problems. The only difference between a 96 and a 103 is bigger jugs and pistons the 07 and the 14 share the same bottom end the only differences is whats upstairs.

You will like the 2014 high output 103, you way have to change to Hydraulic Clutch.

It's a bolt in. You will want to use your existing throttle body, the newer engines use electronic tb. It will have heads prepped for the forward stabilizer location, but you won't need to mess with those. You will want to have the ACR overlay harness installed.

Could I or should I upgrade to the Electronic Throttle Body? A friend of mine said it is hard to get used to?
