Default Stihl engine help needed

I have a Stihl FS75 trimmer engine and a MS 250 chainsaw engine. Which one of these would be the best to use on a project? I will be using these as stock with maybe a carb upgrade. I believe the trimmer turns counter clockwise and the saw turns clockwise, facing the out put shaft.
If I am not correct please chime in here. Looking forward to you responses.
Thank you,
-Gary

On the saw, use the starter side to drive your prop and it will be CCW

I'm not familiar with the engines.

Send us some pictures and some of us could tell

Right now I'm thinking the chain saw unless it has a lot of chain saw burden on the crankcase
