Is a 18cc V8 enough to run a chainsaw?

[mheim1]

Wonder how much torque this thing would put out:

I doubt much torque but that thing is awesome!

It is a Chevy smallblock so there is probably nothing that it can't do:greenchainsaw:

 

[GlenM]

It's got the chainsaw sound.

That is cool, I wonder how many hours are in that. Said he started project in 1998.

someone also built copies of the viper v10 and a 12 cylinder as well. Might even be an old Rolls 16 scale motor.

I'd have to ask Santa for one, because it looks like only an elf is capable of building one of those. That's awesome!

why hasnt anybody made a scale Cummins? now that would work in a saw. i know it would be slow but you put a tranny behind that motor and away you would go :greenchainsaw:

 

[stinkbait]

What does one of those cost?

On one of my car sites they had a link to a minature Blown Hemi, you talk about something that sounded wild, I'll see if I can find it, Joe.

 

[rarefish383]

I'm not sure if this is the one I saw before, but it'll work, Joe.

That thing is blown, a dry sump oiling system, and sounds like a touch of nitro. Someone has lots of time on their hands.

These are nothing - check this out;

Complete and running scaled down Ferrari 312.

It has a 100cc flat 12 cylinder, 4 valves per cylinder, 5 speed gearbox etc
Now that engine would be interesting in a chainsaw!

 

[isaaccarlson]

That is awesome!!!!!

would be neat to drive it....
