If you ever do a diesel project again be sure to let us know. I am actually thinking about doing the same thing a little down the road.

"Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"
So after reading everyones post, I have a dumb question, what chain is in my 2001 Max 4? 40 or 50? And do you think the 35 hp briggs will give the stock chain any problems?? Thanks again,
Chris AZ
That would have #50 chain. I know that there was a 4 cylinder car engine in a Max IV with stock #50 chain and I think it held up as long as the driver wasnt really horsing the throttle. Does anyone remember seeing that machine at the Humphrey, NY ride back in 2001?

jp. That was Kevin Griffin with a Mitsuibishi engine in a Max 4. I just learned a couple of hours ago from egoperf who is at Ledges right now that Kevin brought a Max II with a 4 cylinder Ford engine in it. I love that stuff!
I cant even begin to imagine how someone got a 4 cylinder into a Max II. Is Kevin a member on the forum and if so, maybe he can post up some pics of that beast.

I was thinking about motors for whatever my future 6x6 might be. I was thinking an early 1.8l BMW motor. Early ones were carburated and had a fair amount of power and didn't weigh to much. Just a thought.
An '01 Max IV would have the 530 o-ring chain if it has a 18hp briggs or bigger motor. Only the 16 hp Max IV has standard #50 chain.
I have seen a Max IV and a Max II with 4 cylinders in them before. It is possible.
