I guess what I needed was a good excuse lol.
i hope your wife isn't listening to what im about to say.
kinda sounds like you had this planned out, been looking at replacing the engine for better performance, had a shop confirm, new engine on the way before taking the heads off to confirm? We'll keep this all quiet 🤫

Idle is a little too low.. not good for crank pin bearings.. other wise sounds like it will be a runner...

Ultima says right in their manual 900-1000 is ideal.

Im eyeballing this same move in my 93 electraglide. Constantly fishing for 6th gear! How did that swap go? You use the factory trans case right?

Pretty straight forward install in the stock case. Buy the tools for the tranny gearset removal/install. Well worth the money.
I'm running a Scorpion clutch in mine as it either has the 96" or the 113" motors in it.
