Second time around for that lot.... not like it is bolt on and ready to go. Man some of these things are just screaming out to buy them and then have the Chinese make 200 copies.

If you have the piston can do much better than that for less than half the price.

tell me more Lozza .... i notice the piston is missing from that auction

Awesome Lozza, if you can get me a Mugen 360 cylinder and head for under $700 U.S., I'll order 5 off you now. Fantastic news.

[Lozza]

Send the donor cylinder and the piston

Yeah right!! Used 360 Mugen cylinders are a dime a dozen.

cheers

Rossco

yes Magoo - it is the last little thing I have left of that horrible mistake I made of "giving" my Mugen away!!!!

[holeshot buddy]

Is a ME360 based on a CR 250 or not?

[JohnnyO]

The cylinder and head are a complete new casting with a different appearance, not just a resleeved 250.

[Lozza]

Wouldn't need a special casting. If someone can post a pic of the bottom of a 79 250 cylinder with some dimensions would tell me all I need to know.

[magoo]

No need, it's been done

Here we go again Loz....Nobody doubts that you would be able to build a 360 from a 250 Elsinore barrel, many others have. The point you seem to be missing is that no matter how good your cylinder is on the dyno or on the track, it will never be a Mugen. That's the whole point to this. The collectability of a part doesn't really have all that much to do with performance. It's about the aura that surrounds that parts place in motocross history. Your cylinder would undoubtedly produce the goods.....but as I said earlier,  it ain't a Mugen.
