S&S t2 case

[topcat3815]

I am wanting to use a set of S&S cycle cases for my 14 wethead build but I want to drill the case for the stock oil line hook up and not use S&S kit since I have a oil bud oil cooler. Does anyone know how this is done or who,does this modification.  Thanks for all replies

Mine was done at B&B in NOLA. It was about $180.

 Never done one but I think there is a jig that is used to drill the holes

Yes its not a huge deal. It can be don with a complete engine as well. You need to take cam chest apart , and use low pressure to blow chips back out as you drill. I feel its a better method than the S&S kit. However they are now making a oil pan for the Dyna and Bagger to make it a true bolt on.. Dyna pan is done and I think the bagger is or will be done shortly .

I used the S&S external line kit with my 124 & I also have that same oil cooler.  Works fine for me.

Did you have to remove the oil cooler to install the oil lines to the engine?

I had the engine installed & running before installing the cooler (which I think is by far the best cooler available except for the price)

we made a fixture for doing the oil lines,not a big deal,but im wondering why your not just using your cases for the build? we have many big inch,big HP/TQ builds using stock cases,no probs at all (and if you really need new cases,look at SE,tons cheaper and no oil line mods needed)

I paid $950 for my case then $180 for the holes. I was passing by the shop in NOLA and waited while it was done. That saved me shipping.
When I added up getting the Timken insert, case bore, having the right side bearing secured and shipping It was easier for me to get new cases.
I might have paid a little more but I got a lot more in quality.

It would be nice if S&S offered the 143 as an unassembled kit to save some $$ and we could put our personal touches to them.

Kirby, what would you say are the basic limits of the OEM cases with consideration to horsepower output? I will save a chunk on my 124 if I could use my worked up stockers.

Thanks 02 for your response. I was just thinking that I did not want to put Kirby on the hook for my question.
