Year end build

[Red97]

So, this has been done before a few times. But I have wanted to build one for a while now, something different from the "normal" worksaw builds.



Started with this grubby 359




272 cylinder 52mm .060 out of the band wasn't enough. Added the stock gasket, got me around .015 squish.



Took the other .010 off the piston. Using the 038 piston since the crown height is a good bit shorter than the 272. Want to keep this stock looking as possible. Cylinder low and as much cooling as possible.

Nice job! You beat me to it! I’ve been wanting to get around to my 359 hybrid for months.

A bit of slotting and turn the extension down some it bolts up well.



Want to keep the stock carb and all.

Made some flanges to keep a "boot" of sorts.

Like that ^^


Impulse will be in the top of the carb, and I'll add a barb in the transfer tunnels.

Still have to weld on the av mount to the cylinder and mod the factory muffler to bolt up.


Muffler is almost where it belongs.

This is just going to be a fun work saw type build.

Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Popcorn?

Definitely popcorn. I was hoping to convert my 272 jug to have a 390xp flange and then try to use a 390 boot and rwj carb…prolly no chance of stuffing that under the cover though

That would be a very tight fit.
