Topic: Engine Swap Possible?

[jknightcfi]

Hello.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever done a full engine swap on a CB360T? Would it be possible? What may fit a 400? 550?

I am just thinking about trying to make my bike a bit more interstate able and would like to explore some options.

Thanks,
James

Bell Jet Ranger helicopter engines are a nice option if you dont mind a little fabrication

Nothing will drop right in. All swaps will require cutting up alot of the frame. You can beef up the 360. I have one I'm working on now. I plan on doing something similar to what this guy did, http://home.brisnet.org.au/~jmiller/honda/cb360/index.html

Thanks for the link. I have seen that bike before but forgot where so this will help. I was thinking about selling it and moving up but I just love my little cafe bike. I have been torn between boring out and overhauling more vs selling. This will give me a bit of a shopping list to help me decide.

Thanks again.

My suggestion, keep the wee 360 as your town bike and find an interesting old clunker 750/650/550/500/400 for a project.
That way you keep a ridable bike on the road and have one to dream on, plenty of projects waiting in barns and sheds and Craigs List for some one to save them.
