Twin Cam Crate Engines, Fast and Easy Harley-Davidson Power

Crate engines are not cheap but they are the fastest and easiest option to get big power or replace a Twin Cam engine damaged beyond repair. Buying a used motor is risky and no one wants to throw down hard earned money only to find out that used motor is no better than the one being replaced. We'll take a look at a much less expensive option from Ultima all the way to the biggest baddest crate engines from FuelMoto and S&S. If a crate engine isn't exactly what you're after, there's the long block option from Harley-Davidson. You get a new engine with all the upgraded Screamin Eagle parts and keep your matching VIN number.

Would you go with one of these crate engines or just rebuild your existing engine, which crate engine would you choose?

Oh my goodness That NEW shelf looks so STURDY! 3 Braces! Lol

[Oddman]

He fixed the shelf, I can watch this video without anxiety now.

At 120, 000 miles the oil filter mount on my '04 Heritage broke off. The best option seemed to be the Long Block. I got the 95" with a 203 cam. They made phone calls and I had my bike back in 10 days!!! I got the low end torque and wide power band I wanted. Plus I still had all the things I had done to my bike over the years to make it mine!! And that was not a minor saving!!!

I’m just here to see how many shelf comments there are! Great content as always, appreciate the insight.

Great info man...I just had my 2003 cvo road king motor rebuilt by a reputable shop in my area in Pa. He used kb forged pistons, andrews 57h cams, heads and cylinders were worked as well as the valves redone. Has a bassani 3 into 1 pipe, and the comp is 10.8-1. The bike hauls the mail!. I was blown away by the power increase. It's at a dyno shop now getting tuned...

[jimmccoskey]

Glad to see you've fixed that shelf. Now I can appreciate your excellent videos without all the shelf anxiety...thanks again for the great vids!

Blew my 103 stage 4 motor in my street glide. replaced with the S&S 124 LC 131 hp 151 TQ. Very happy with the motor. Pass everything but the gas station 😂😂

[dennishowell]

That's a nice shelf behind you with nice products on it

[bobhoffman]

Update on MY plans for my 2005 FLHRS; an S&S 111 inch mill. My Screaming Eagle clutch (brand new) will handle its power adequately, and before springing for a billet (bulletproof) clutch basket, I'll look into parts offered that strengthen my factory basket... lol

[joncoffey]

You definitely give me a great information to chew on when time comes for a rebuild or crate it. Appreciate the research and time spent gathering the information. Greetings from Durant, OK

[mikespencer]

I’ve got a 2011 FLSTN with just over 30K miles, that already needs 93 octane! With the future of Harley being water cooled, I want a long-term “solution” that will outlast me! Thanks, GixxerFoo, for some really attractive options!

[readtheinstructions]

I'll have to shelf the thought of a new crate motor.

[ejgrace]

I definitely go with a brand new crate if my screaming eagle 110 ever goes. I'd probably go with the FM or s&s. Always great info. Watching from Upstate Ny

[AmericasR]

Great video!! Just the info I was looking for👍 gonna have to look into that ultima 113 now or Fuel 124😃

[matt]

Here for the shelf...Staying til the END for the fantastic content.

[scottarmstrong]

Great video as always. Since I'm riding a 2000 FXSTB, these engines are all more money than my bike is worth. My choices would be either rebuild the existing engine or junk the bike. If I needed a bike quickly I would buy another used bike and rebuild the Night Train when I had the time. That is a nice shelf!

[DiscoLew]

Man, I’m so glad you fixed that shelf lol

[foresthopster]

Glad to see you did something about that sagging shelf back there. Im in the process of doa twin cam conversion on an 89 fxrs I'm dropping a 120R in it. I sent the lower end to revolution performance and they did Timken conversion and re blue printed and balanced pinned welded crank so it should be good.

The early Ultima engines had an issue with a tapered bore in the cylinders, worked for a shop in Tucson late 90's early 00's. That doesn't seem to be an issue these days.
If I were to buy an Ultima motor I'd pull the top end down and reassemble it myself.
The only complaint I've heard in the past few years are head bolts not being torqued to spec, and that's about it. The Ultima engine with the Timken bearing is enough to convince me.
Haven't heard of anyone check the pinion shaft runout on the Ultima but I'd bet it's better than H-D.
S5S is not the same company that it was in the 60's all the way up until the early 00's. They're way over priced for what you get now.
