The legendary Early Shovelhead engine was only manufactured by the Motor Company for four years, from 1966 to 1969, and is now a rare item. The S&S version with a standard 74 cubic inches (1200 cc) combines an authentic retro look with modern technology, guaranteeing thousands of trouble-free miles.

Fully assembled from the best components S&S has to offer, meaning that the series specifications are met as a minimum and exceeded in many parts. The latter include steel flywheels and reinforced connecting rods, oil pump and rocker boxes made of billet aluminum, as well as roller rocker arms. The assembled S&S 513G camshaft has slightly more lift and longer timing than the stock component for increased performance.

The SH74 engine is supplied without a manifold, carburetor, or ignition, allowing you to customize it to your own requirements. The crankcase and cylinder heads have a cast finish, the cylinders are coated in black, and the rocker boxes are polished. The cylinder heads are supplied with oil via the push rods, eliminating the need for external lines.
