    I have an aftermarket frame that has a 1983 shovelhead engine.
    Is there a way to tell if this frame will fit an Evo motor. Will a measurement tell me?
    As far as fitting into the frame what's the difference between the 2 engines? I think the Evo is taller and that's about it?
    Thanks guys!

    Maybe it's a different top motor mount or bracket?

    How much larger, height and width is an Evo compared to a shovelhead?
    Anybody know?
    Paul, do you weld or have someone that welds motorcycle stuff?
