RE: What is The Most Popular Chainsaw Engine To Convert?
If you are not machining your own parts, then Poulan and Homies get my vote too. If you don't mind spending a little more for a wrap-around Pitts Muffler, Bisson has one for the Poulan. That makes it the only chainsaw engine (not counting BMEs and such, of course) to enjoy such support.
Overall, the Poulan 46cc is hard to beat.
