Default Mac conversion questions

Sounds like my little Mac would be okay on an ugly sick, maybe. I have read a lot of the posts in this forum, enough to get myself thoroughly confused, but which engines are the ones that seem like they 'were designed to be model engines'? Do the Poulans make for easy conversions? I acquired a old 20+ year old Huskie 45cc chainsaw and looked it over, only to find that the crankcase is also the saw case, and it also has shaftage sticking out both sides of the case! Not to mention that the flywheel weighs almost 2lbs by itself!

So here's the bottom line: I am going to need 16+ pounds of thrust. I don't mind converting a chainsaw engine. I will probably have to buy a new one. So....which one?

I am going to post another thread with this same question, so I can get everyone's opinion and make some sort of educated guess.
