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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What combination do we have here? Looks like MK cases and 400 cylinder with a ML radial head. Is the stud pattern close enough to easily do this?MK and ML.jpg
 
It certainly looks like it if it is bolted in place. Someone would have had to slot the bolt holes and spotfaces to pull it off if they were not a close match. Or have the assistance of a top notch tig weldor. The head would likely be from a GP 360.
 
Interesting. It looks like the base gasket is the same on the 400 from 1969-75. So maybe a 1975 400 top end or head on an earlier engine?
 
The 1975 400 had the big case 5 speed engine so that is the stock cylinder on that engine. The radial head likely came off a 360GP engine

That's right, the 75 and 76 360CR and WR will bolt right on the 69 through 75 400 cylinder. When using the 360 head for this application the two 8mm bolts are not used just the four 10mm.

The cylinder looks like a 250. It has only 9 fins instead of 10 not to mention the large amount of space between the top of the head and the pipe. The clutch cover is no doubt off a 400.
