Default 82 Sportster Options

I am new to Harley's and I was wanting to know, If I have an 82 Sportster Frame what motors aside from the Ironhead it came with can I put in there with ease... If I cannot readily get a motor that was made for this frame what would be my next best bet?

Thank you

if you've got access to a welder and a grinder, and a place to get metal for engine mounts, you could probably get an evo motor in there. There's nothing wrong with an ironhead motor though, just a little leaky. Can't say I've ever done a custom motor setup, but if you're clever enough, you can stuff any motor in there you want. Good luck!
