Default 100--120cc Engine For Conversion?

I am on the hunt for another 100CC engine to convert.

I have a 111cc Stihl engine that I rescued from a 760 cut-off saw. But, thats MINE and I ain't gonna give it up. It's going on a Lanier 35% Giles someday.

My friends and I are going to build a big Extra together. Everyone is responsible for a specific portion of the project. I have to furnish the engine--'cause I'm the "engine guy" in my circle of friends. One guy is furnishing all the servos. Another bought the kit and covering. Somebody else is buying the hardware and wing/stab tubes.

Well, I need to get a motor. I've been on the lookout for another 760 cut-off saw, but not haviong much luck getting one that runs for a decent price. I got lucky on the last one. The saw had been run over by a piece of heavy equipment and about the only thing worth salvageing was the engine. I got it for $50.

Apparently--the heavy equipment operators have been passing their drug tests, because I can't seam to find one thats been run over. [sm=lol.gif]

Any ideas on another saw or machine to look at for a conversion in this size. Doesn't have to be a twin, but that would sure be cool.
