If it's from a Softail, maybe. A Dyna or Touring "A" engine will not.

Thank you. He Says it’s from a softail. What stamp/indicators would let me know it’s not from a touring model?

Google "Harley Twin Cam A and Twin Cam B differences". One is balanced and the other is not. Easy to spot when you know what you're looking at. A and B engines are not interchangeable.

Simple enough.
When you start your build, be sure to start a thread so we can all enjoy it. And plenty of pics to go with it.
We are here to help if we can.
