    I have a 1977 Husky 360 auto I plan on racing in vintage events though from what I gather the automatic engine[IMG] would not be all that cost effective to run consistently. I want to put another engine in it but I don't know what engines/years will fit in this bike.

    Can anyone tell me what I could use that will bolt into this bike?

    Thanks a lot,

    -John

    Any motor 75-76 250-360, & 77-80 250 or 390 but with 390 you'll need to make new front motor mounts. The 390 use 2 front bolts
    where 360 only use single mount bolt.

    Many vintage big bore and automatics
    If you use any other motor other than the 360 auto or 390 auto you will need to use a different set of front motor mounting plates and the correct rear mounts. The auto and 125 had the swing arm pivot/rear mount built into the motor cases. Hope this helps!
