Unfortunately, most guys under 50 around here wouldn't know to what you are referring anymore.Has anyone compared the 242 Xp vs 346 Xp? Or built a 242 Xp? I was just wondering with both of them being high rpm saws.
It’s like comparing a 283, to a 327 to a 350 small block Chevy.
Well I'm 39 and usta live and breath small block chevys. Built quite a few 377 destrokers, even a 352 which was a 400 4 bolt block using a 3 inch stroke 302 crank with AFR 220cc heads. 9000 rpm baby.Unfortunately, most guys under 50 around here wouldn't know to what you are referring anymore.
The 346 is a more competent all rounder, the 242 and it's family are much more specialized. Used for their intended application falling/limbing/blocking smaller pulp wood they are very hard to beat. The small frame, balance and high rpm are extremely well suited to Scandinavian style logging. Cutting up hardwood for firewood? Not so much.
That said I have a 133 on its way to me, so I own the entire family....
Wow bill I never knew you had a 240sg, you've never mentioned it. Not once.
You still shootin dimes at 1000 yards? With open sights? Teachin them snipers how it's done? Lol
Hey Bill didn't you say your eager beaver had huge power? Why don't you use that LOL.
You do not see many of either around any more unfortunately.I don't want to derail this thread but about SBChevys. I have had many SBC but for longevity and overall quality I will take a small block Oldsmobile anyday.
