That's a great idea but chains don't stop... only deter. With a sawzall, grinders, and cutting torch in my shop it's easy to cut chain. No, I have warned them they will have hell to pay if someone other than me uses it.

Someone tried to "borrow" all my saws.
Decided to use my hacksaw on the chain, it didn't end well. Hacksaws cut hands/fingers pretty easy. I've hidden all my "cutting" tools now.
These would have been part of the haul:
..........and I upped the chain to hardened logging chain.
I think it was a local known crackhead? But since they/he didn't get my saws POlice didn't give a dam. Wouldn't take prints or blood samples.
I heard buried bear traps work good too! LoL!!
I extended the front frame 12" forward and moved the motor back that much to distribute weight better. S10's are so easy to work with. Except weling the funny car cage in... that was a tough one. Took 2 months in my spare time.That's sweet, thanks for sharing.
Back in the day I built 5 different s10/s15 with 327-350's, and a nice lowered s10 with a 4.3.
All were fun, but if I had to do it over I'd do a ranger with w/a 289, they fit a lot nicer.
Good luck on the project"s".
I always wanted to do a rear engine one.
Typically I'd just swap the battery to the very back of the bed, make the tunnel removable.
I didn't have much of a shop to do heavy fab available to me, had I, much more would have been done.
Did you get it down the track with another engine.
No. I bought it as a street rolling chassis and gutted it. It originally had a 454 in it before I bought it. I suspect it will run low 7's to high 6's in the 1/4 mile when done.
I worked on it in my 3 car garage and then moved it to the lean-to on my shed and covered it. I think this fall I will be working on it again. The chassis is 99% done. The front cap is carbon fiber, doors and tailgate is fiberglass. I have almost everything to finish it.
My garage is now my custom woodworking shop. It's a/c and heated so I can work in there year round. Extra money helps when retired.. it was a game changer for me. Not use to living on limited income..
Wow the low 7's or high 6's is pretty ambitious. That would be rush to drive.
Sounds fun to me.
Can't wait to get my barn finished.

That's going to be nice!!
It is.
I've already got a mess of stuff under it, can't wait to get the concrete, hopefully this spring. In the meantime I'll continue to finish the soffit/ facia,remove trees, and get the grades set. It's coming together as planned though.
That's a lotta work. What's the size
Yep, we always have to have projects
.32x48x12 main with two 12x48 lean to's.
But you know they only come in one size, too small lol.
That's going to be a stunner, keep up posted, be interesting to see it finished.

That looks like straight fuelled to me. With a nice clean 460 it's worth spending the bit extra to keep it original and best. The 46s are torquey and good felling saws
The saw has only had about 5-7 tanks of fuel run through it since new in 2005. So if you are looking for a blue stained tank you won't see it.
I'm waiting on kit now, should be here today or Monday. This saw was only used on 3 oak trees before someone borrowed it. Will never get loaned out again by a fam member! I had only used it for firewood from the 3 trees we dropped on our property before. It will get fixed and kept safe... I'm retired now and NO ONE will use it but me!
And I thought you were kidding...
Well, tool and cylinder kit came yesterday. I removed the cyl this morning and as you said, the aluminum may be able to be removed from cyl. Intake side has no scoring to mention, exhauast side is heavier at the top than at the bottom, looks like it may be repairable after cleaning, possibly. There is no slack in wrist pin bearing and none in the crank bearings. So it is possible to keep OEM if cyl cleans and get an OEM piston. There is hope. I will try this first and save new Titanikel kit for a back up.

Looks like it will clean up to me, and that would be my preferred option along with an oem piston.
How do you check the squish?
Here's a bit of reading and good advice.
