Pretty sure that any 1500 efi engine from any year is the same, including the mean streak. Crank case part numbers will tell you what will fit.

well I don't personally have  place to take on this project and I don't know if any dealers would touch it haven't went and asked some of the feed back I got from other vulcan owners was techs didn't like to rebuilt this model engine. I figured I could get a reman engine and have it put it

Why not just rebuild it? Any of the 1500 EFI engines will fit, but the cams are different , so the torque curve is different. If it were me, I'd just rebuild the original, but a Nomad engine might be the best choice for a replacement.

hello everyone been awhile since i posted so my  01 1500 drifter has over 100k miles and lifters are starting to make noise and I have been missing 2nd gear for the past 50k miles I just skip it. but the bike is in great shape and I can either go buy a new bike or replace the engine. So my question is what is the newest year engine can i put in and does anyone have a good place to buy from? also will any of the vulcan 1500 engine fit? thanks for your time
