any one know were i can pick up a cheap used panhead engine , 65-72 running or rebulidible, need this so i can bulid my very frist harley please help The frame is 1938 Kunckle

ty...try richsparts.com. They offer engine from all years. Never purchased anything from them tho. Maybe someone on this forum has? Think you will have hard time finding a reasonable price on a 65 (last year pan) motor. Ya gotta remember also that they only made jenny-shovels for three years as well which makes 'em a bit on the rare side.

Hi TY, I have a complete 1966 pan-shovel..but with std cases,have the paper on all. untouched frame,18"ape-hangers,custom wideglide frontend, 21" front wheel (60spoke).. engine is strong with rebuilt topend,,new s&s carb,,but need to be rejetted...alot of new parts on her. I"m asking 6500.00 for it all,,,,plus i have alot of extra parts to go with it. I live in Pearl,ms (central) if you want to talk about it plz call me @601-503-6318

I am considering the sale of my 79 cubic inch S&S Retro-Generator Evo motor to replace with the new S&S p-series. This motor was designed to fit stock 4 speed frames from 48-present with no clearance issues. Comes with a Mallory Unilite distributor and manufacturers statement of origin. engine has about 1000 miles since new, and has a short sprocket shaft for tin primary, kick start applications. Interested?

for an everyday rider and some dependable trips I would look into thte S&S replacements.

If I remmember correctly your frame won't take that pan, it has different hieghts on the mounts. Knucks can go into pans but not the other way around.

If you have a 38 knuck frame you have a rare piece,,and I believe a pan will not as stated....DO NOT CUT THAT FRAME!!!! If you really want a panhead,,sell that frame...get a nice wishbone and have extra money for the motor.

First. I don't think you are going to find a CHEAP panhead engine. They are getting scarce and the price reflects that trend. Second 65-72? Panheads were produced from 1948 to 1965 so 66-72 were not panheads. Third, a panhead engine will not fit in a knuckle frame without modifications. alot of knuckle frames did not make it through the 60's without modification, If yours did I would not modify it. What you need is a wishbone frame 48-mid 54 or a straight leg late 54-57 assuming you wanted to keep it rigid. Or you could build a knucklehead or a big twin flathead U,UL,ULH. Thatwould also fit in your 38 frame. if your 38 frame is in good shape and you are determined to build a panhead e-mail me andI could come up with a panhead frame to swap.
