I have an 85 honda shadow 500. Im currently turning it into a bobber style bike. But I would like a little more power out of it. Will a bigger motor fit my frame? And I'm not sure about if the shaft alignment will be the same either. If anyone has some insight on this I would appreciate the info.

Well if you can stuff a Chevy small block into a motorcycle you can stuff just about any engine in anything. That being said, all you need to know is how much room you have and then how much room the new engine will use. Alignment is only limited by the fabrication skills of the installer. So while I don’t have an exact engine that will fit for you, I hope some time with a measuring tape and a drawing of the engine bay, will help you fit an engine.

Thank you for the positive answer. You gave me lots of hope.
