HUSQVARNA HUSQVARNA THREAD

This is a pretty clean 359 w/357 top end.

Not real impressive without the crank stuffers & no porting. Will fix that at some point... But does blow 200 psi.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

Which makes me wonder... Is it possible to install stuffers on the 359 crank to do a complete 357 conversion?? I'm thinking the 359 uses the same crank, or is at least the same stroke... Bore is the difference between the two...

Oh, here is my soon-to-arrive 359... It's ALMOST as nice as those!! LOL!

Yes, they use the same crank.

That'll buff out!

Truth. A lot of it will. I wish I had before and after pix of some of my projects. There is no substitute for elbow grease.

So you feel the stuffers are important with the 357 jug? Fixing to build this one with an OEM 357 jug and was contemplating stuffers or not.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

I would say if you want everything offered in gains by the 357 conversion, the stuffers should be included.

The stuffers decrease case capacity, and I'm no expert but my guesstimation says that decreased case capacity equals increased intake and transfer velocity. Which is something that should contribute to the way a 357 runs compared to a 359... when comparing both in stock config anyway...

I don't know these things well enough to say, but I think the only difference between a 359 and a 357, is the stuffers and P/C. The rest of the stuff seems to be the same part numbers. Again, I have no expertise....

Yes

Yes. I've done it both ways and the 357 jug needs the stuffers.

If I were to build one without stuffers I'd use the 359 jug, ported of course.

 

[P.M.P.]

You guys talking all this 357 stuff is giving mea POP UP.

350 Husky that I was going to build into a 346 until Randy let me know that he had an OE waiting in the wings. I gave it to a Mod on AS for his sons to use as a starter saw, (SVK?).

Don't mind the obligatory Creamsickle. The 562 was the star of the day and I was temporarily out of 346s...

 

[RocketRoss57]

After a couple years of cad, finally joined the six cube husky club. All torn down now getting new mains and seals, piston and rings, carb kit, fuel line and some other doodads and whositswhatsins here and there. Really excited to throw it in some wood and see how it goes. Never ran one before.
