• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Different Strokes late 70's / mid 80's

Here I go thinking again. I been thinking about a 360cr. Looking at the specs I found it's a 67mm stroke. I never gave it much thought. I always thought it was a smaller bore 390 with 71mm stroke.

250- 64mm stroke
360- 67mm stroke
390- 71mm stroke
420- 71mm stroke
400- 74mm stroke
430- 74mm stroke
500- 84mm stroke.

If you want to add any thoughts feel free.
 
The 360 and 390 piston sizes are in the same diameter range to the extent that a 2nd over 360 is std 390.
 
a small block chev can rev to whatever your wallet allows..mine does 6000...:(

Big Bill...you must learn to turn that mind off at nite...:naughty: thinking is bad for you...you might have ideas and we all know how much ideas can cost:eek:
 
A rollerized small block built to the hilt a 283/301/327 will turn 10k rpm wise. My bigblock I built redlined at 6,700rpm on the full body car dyno.(396/400+hp)

I would like to build one more car. Just to show my kids what real hp is like. They think these rice burners are fast. On a hole shot you feel the g's set you back in the seat then the slicks hooked up. Bang second, bang third, band fourth. The 12 second run goes by very fast.
 
Ima diesel guy myself, but some of those jap rides can turn out some serious h/p. Ever hear of the Nissan RB engines or the Toyota 2jz or the notorious Mazda wenkel rotary? These things with minor work could eat a mild built 350 depending on what car it's in. I'd never drive one personally as it's not my cup of tea but some the "rice" can be really fast. But on the other side of the fence there's no replacement for displacement. Twin turbo mopar big block would be the engine I'd build if a had a car to put one in.
 
The bigger bore / stroke rev less but the torque increases. I like the 283/301 with the roller setup.

My son had a Suzuki bandit 400cc she redlined at 17,000rpm. It's a 400gsxr engine detuned. Used a lot in Europe as beginner bikes. This little liquid cooled 400 was a rocket.
 
a mate yonks ago had a white hk Bathurst Monaro with a hot 327 in it used to pull 13.2 over the 1/4. ive got a blue one now
