Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

I read that and I just have to repeat to myself "Matt, you don't need another box of Husky engine parts waiting to be put together."
I also have 2 extra sets of 360 cases that I got with my 360. I'd have to go through them to see if they are in even an OK condition or which year they actually are from, but I would think shipping to Finland would be prohibitive.

I was told there is no physical difference in the actual cases
if you know something different I am interested
I'd expect the crankcase to be larger on the 360, for the longer stroke. The 250/300 have the same stroke, so that's not an issue between those two. The 360 is a big in comparison though.
All the other differences I'm thinking of (powervalve, cooling) would deal with the inner clutch cover and cylinder. Bearings are different, but those are all inner diameters with the same interface to the case.

my earl ones 250, 400, 430 and 500 were the same except you had an odd casting filler (that could be machined out) on the 250 and assuming the 260 was the same but never had one
other brands do this as well
I heard they are interchangeable and would like to hear what is not about them for my own education thank you
Keep reminding me, and I'll take pictures and measurements when I finally get my case tools back and split the 2012 cases again -- I'll compare it side by side with some 360 case halves.
One other thing I just thought of, the swing arm pivot got a boost sometime between 1992 and 2012 (I bet it was after 2002 when the 360 was retired). The hole can be drilled larger in the cases and a newer bushing can be fit, so it's not a huge issue, especially when the cases are already split, but that should of happened with the 250 case as well at the same time. So that may just be something to consider if the 250/300 cases CAN be made to work, as it may require a custom bushing to step down from the larger hole to the smaller swing arm bolt.
