So I recently picked up an '82 80ci Shovelhead. It's a runner but has definitely lived a hard life. The odometer read 80,000.
I'm in the process of sending my frame off to 47industries for a hardtail conversion and I'm a bit reluctant to put this crusty engine back into that fresh frame.
So, I'm trying to decide if I should just regasket the engine myself now (and kinda go through it) or bite the bullet and have it professionally rebuilt now.
That being said, I'm brand new to the Shovelhead world and really don't know who to trust with a rebuild.
Thoughts?
