Nice looking Featherbed/Harley combo, I have been thinking about something like this set up, but am thinking of using a Evo Sportster motor instead of a heaver iron head, I have a project Slimline already, just need to find a motor.
Ashley, I have been doing some internet research about engine mounting in respect of chain alignment, optimum fore and aft position etc.(actually very little leeway here). From what I have read it seems that the Evo engine is physically a bit larger in several crucial areas and will be difficult if not impossible to fit in a slimline frame without some difficult frame mods. Even with the ironhead It looks like most people cut a notch out of the lower frame rail on the right hand side where the oil pump sits.
Having said all this, it is a fun project and a reasonably priced option compared to many other projects.
