    I am under the impression the swedish bikes ended in 1988. You are in another country so that may not be the case. I would find some way to verify the frame and engine numbers but cases and engines can be swapped. In my experience in 1987 the clutch got an extra spring and attached via a nut and fold over washer so the input shaft changed I imagine most of the rest remained the same but you would have to study the parts sheets. https://www.halls-cycles.com/Catalog/Halls-Cycles-Husqvarna.aspx for some parts sheets and http://www.huskyclub.com/model.htm for some number checking. They list a 430 for 1989 and 1990 with the same engine code as 1988. It is just a bunch of stuff on the internet not a copy of some origional document.

    If the engines you have are correctly identified the answer is yes they will fit no matter how you mix and match with the possibile exception of the primary drive which I suggest you study the parts sheets. Pretty much anything back to 1980 will fit in those cases so long as you change enough donor parts.

    huskys did have 1989 models, only not in the US, they were basily left over 1988,s.
    yes the parts will swap.
