Building the ultimate sleeper saw.... 46cc Craftsman into a ported 72cc

[thomas1]

I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile.

The Craftsman before the transplant

Nice work, Ed! That Craftsman looks familiar. :msp_wink:

Do your bushings have a lip to contain the piston pin? Then the circlips hold the bushing?

 

[z71mike]

Awesome. Lovin it.

Arrowhead is the mad scientist of chainsaw mods! Coolest AS thread ever I can't wait to see that thing growl and rip chips.

Slick looking project! Cant wait to see more pics/vids!

Ed, your a sick and twisted man..... That's why I like ya.

Once I got the jug to fit, I set up the degree wheel to check the timing.

So, what numbers did ya end up with? Cutting the skirt take your intake way up?

Also, What was the stroke difference between em?

Congratulations on capturing the true essence of hot rodding so rarely seen today. It's like the days of V8 Pinto's and Vega's or model T's with big V8's. Anyone remember Opel GT's with 354 and 392 hemi's? Take the bigest engine you can get and put it in the smallest and lightest car. We sure scraped a lot of good Impala's, Imperials, and Ford LTD's just for the big blocks that we put into Camaros, Novas, Challangers, and Mustangs.

I don't know wigglesworth I think I might like Arrowhead's craftsman better, not that your sleeper isn't cool also. :msp_rolleyes:

You can see the similarities to the 026. Av mounts are darn near in the same spot.

Would the 038 top end go on an 026?

:msp_w00t: WOW , Brilliant !!! I'm drooling on the keyboard . I hope she screams .

Just passing around some opcorn:

 

[Nardoo]

Ed, that is cool. And I like the fact that you based it on a US made Poulan.

 

[RBurtcher]

Nice!

"It don't fit".
"It will in a minute or so".
"What about that clearance"?
" Mill will take care of that no problem".

Custom. Good job Mr.

Nope, but an 028 super top end would work with some machinework.

 

[LegDeLimber]

I haven't read all of the Earthquake thread.
Are they working on anything like this yet?

Damn!! i miss being in a job shop machine shop.

 

[Metals406]

Ed, I poo'd a little. . . :msp_ohmy:


Looking forward to more! Great project!

I was worried about that too.

I got me a craftsman like that. Cool bananas.

 

[joe25DA]

Same as the 2800... 46cc.


Brain lapse.

Some one was saying on the poulan forum not long ago, why didnt poulan make a 70cc top end on this chassis.
great thread.
