The 261 looks slightly quicker to me. Off the roll stihl square didn’t impress me either, I like rs better. I like exl chain, nice angles on cutter and good hook.Here are 2 quick vids that I did for a comparison. Wood is way too small though. Tough to tell which saw runs stronger.
I need to get some bigger logs.
Out of the box Oregon square on a 16" 3/8 .050 bar.
For a brand new chain, it needs some tending too.
Jeff....? Yer the only one in. RI that owns a chain saw...Can't find EXL anywhere here in RI. WTF
Mike I believe some of the very early Shelby GT500s got the 427 before they developed the Cobra Jet 428.
The new EXL looks like a better built chain than LGX from a durability standpoint. Seems heavier. Kinda a cross between 33RS and 72LGX. I personally prefer the way LGX cuts comparing both off the roll. The EXL doesn't have enough hook for me. With about 5 swipes per tooth it becomes a completely different animal though and seems better than LGX at that point. Ymmv.Cool. I am looking forward to trying it. Although I don't really have any issues with LGX. Works fine for me.
I am fairly easy to please.
So we have another old school bench racer Once drove a 428 cobra 70' stang, meh. Also drove a 427 70' Mach1 car. 9" 4.10 locker top loader. *s-words gits and will put you in a ditch real quick. 650+ hp warmed over motor with hi riser 2x4's and reworked tunnel port heads. Two speeds, idol and wtf?! That guy is currently building a 65' Car for the street with a 68' Boss 302 motor for a serious street car, caged, suspensions all set up. Looks like a fun autocross ride.Saw some extra vids there, FYI, Ford NEVER put the 427 in a Mustang. A few Cougars, but never a Mustang.
I put a 427 Ford in a 70 Boss 302 Body, but Ford never did (390, 428 + 429, but NEVER a 427)!
There were, however, 427 ThunderBolt Fairlanes from 1964 - 1967. Would love to have one.
Let me clarify, I'm talking production cars you could buy, yes Gas Rhonda and others had 427 SOHC Mustangs on the track. I believe they were A/FX. These cars were Factory Alterds (classified Factory Experimental). Wheel bases were stretched, motors moved back, bodies lightened, etc.
