THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON® SHOVELHEAD® ENGINE

The SHOVELHEAD® years were from 1966 until 1983.

By the time 1966 rolled around the Panhead® was given still more improvements with the most noticeable being the distinctive enclosed cylinder head in a sleek, slightly curved top. At first glance this looks unmistakably like a shovel with the pushrods resembling the handle of a shovel, and the head, the shovel itself. This newest revision was quickly named the Shovelhead®.
