1500 engine swap compatibility?!

Sparkee09 · 11-07-2017, 06:57 PM

Anyone know what engines are compitable with the older bikes? I have a 1996 vulcan 1500 classic, which is the vn1500d. 4 speed and carbs. Also has a blown connecting rod :(
Im perfectly capable to rebuild it but would prefer not to and i found an 03 meanstreak 1500 engine local to me for $300. I would love to grab this if i could make it work, i can modify the heads to use my carbs, or just swap my heads over, or maybe get the fi system ecu and wore harness. Can i make this work? Will i have an issue with the flywheel pick up pionts?
Thanks in advance!
