Nice work Joe!

@Stevetheboatguy mentioned that he had seen a thread where someone put a Stihl 036 p&c on a Poulan 330/380 saw. I couldn't find such a thread....any of you hear of such a thing? I got a 330 that I am going to port, but the idea of being able to bump up the displacement is always of interest.

Even though I already have 2 of them, I'm planning to make one or two 440/460 hybrids this year (if I ever get to my own saws, didn't last year).

They will be Asian 440 carcasses with OEM cylinder and piston (which I have in stock). Have both a 460 and 046 D cylinder.

Also recently picked up a couple of Walbro HD-14C carbs (brand new).

This should help, as I determined that the performance of some of my previous builds was being hampered by using the AM carbs (the venture is too small).

That was a build back on AS pretty sweet saw.

Any recollection as to what the build was called? I have tried searching high & low and haven't found anything.

 

[Red97]

Ed, Arrowhead I believe was the builder.

No idea what it was called.

Close but... IIRC that was an 038 cylinder on a 2800/3300 chassis.
A 48mm 036 cyl wouldn't get much if any displacement gain, depending on which poulan model you started out with. Even at 52mm, wasn't really that big of a displacement gain either due to the smaller stroke on the poulan.
For a 52mm bore, the 038 cylinder (like the 272 cyl also) has an exceptionally small base bolt pattern, as well as no bottom flange, that lends itself to potential fitment to a lot of different/smaller saws. A *s-wordload of ultra-cheap aftermarket options for both too.
Biggest practical difference (for conversion purposes) between 038/272 is one has an intake spigot with a boot, the other is flat and uses a block, take yer pick...

I was able to find the thread with the few tidbits of info. https://www.arboristsite.com/thread...saw-46cc-craftsman-into-a-ported-72cc.230393/

It really is, isn't it?

Everybody likes more vroom vroom I guess.

Life is too short to just use a stock saw...

I agree....it's even better when I can show up at someone's house to do tree removals with a ported saw and a handful of good square ground chains.

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes sir!!!

I may or may not have received tracking numbers for the majority of the pieces required to make this happen...

Let me know what pieces yoos missing

What oil do you recommend?
