    Now, this is what you do with that old V8 laying around in the garage

    The other thread made me remember seeing this. Now that's a chainsaw!

    That's funny. When I saw the title of the thread, I was thinking the V-8 you might find in the refrigerator.

      I coulda used that saw a few weeks ago. Would have made cutting that tree up a lot faster.

          I'm thinking that when your nuts fall off from picking up the danged thing, what are the chances that they'll be sitting at the location where it hits the ground after the cut??

              How about using chainsaw motors to power a vehicle instead?

                A great way to recycle those old flatheads. That is a monster saw.

                  You keep your engine in the refrigerator? Doesn't that make it hard to start
