Harley motor in a homebuilt?

Couldn't find any specs on the engine other than the torque at 3000 RPM,
and the Harley web site, like the hog-air web site, was kind of a pain
to navigate.

Any idea if they have the power curve on line?

thanks

There's a "list of verified horsepower figures for a variety of the Twin
Cam 88 and 95 CID Engines" at
http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/hplist_twin_cam.htm

If you drop down to the first 68 hp motor 88 CID engine listed, you can
click on it and get a dyno chart at
http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/dyno_sheets/max_green_tcdyno.jpg

Just looked up what the Harley website says about torque at 3000 RPM;
they claim peak torque of 85 ft-lbs. The dyno chart referenced shows a
peak torque of about 76, maybe 77 ft-lbs at 4000 RPM. Harley's probably
measuring at the crank; the dyno chart is of measurements taken at the
rear wheel.

hope this helps,
