You either need to put that G50B in your Green Machine or sell it to me!

You can fit a dozen G50Bs in the space that one Superchief takes. All that space became available when you took that SC body off my hands.

Right?! It's odd, because looking at my living quarters, you'd expect me to be a normal dude. One look in the top of the barn, or the garage, or the top of that barn over there, or the shed over there, or behind that lean-to over there, and Dr. Robin Zasio would be on my case in a heartbeat.

If I remember correctly, Don had an exchange with a family member a few years back. I beleive it went something like:

<Family member:> How many machines do you actually need?
<Don:> All of them.

You can fit a dozen G50Bs in the space that one Superchief takes.

...and you can fit a dozen Superchiefs in the space that was once called "lawn".

lol, All you guys crack me up. The wife is wondering what Im laughing about.

I would say go 4 stoke unless you can edit the title of this thread, lol. Just kidding!

Actually it sounds like the 2 stroke will work good. You already have everything for it and will go in easier. Its hard to get the stinky loud unreliable 2 stroke stereotype out of our heads but I dont think anybody runs the oil 20:1 anymore. I say stick the 2 stroke in it.

2 stroke it is, guys! Thanks for the ideas and advice. I'm currently getting the G50B Chaparral freshened up and ready to go. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress.

I already had a 6 chain Attex frame all set up for the 4 stroke V Twin that I was going to use, and since I decided against using that engine, I chose to go with a 4 chain frame, as is the one in a stock Superchief. This put me back to square one with the project, but it wasn't too big of an issue since I picked up a pretty decent Attex 295 Wild Wolf roller without a engine and transmission for next to nothing over the summer. The frame in it was absolutely beautiful without any structural flaws. I got it all apart in about 2 hours.....amazing! I couldn't believe how easily all of the axles slid out from the sprocket tubes........I wish they all came apart like this! I had the frame sandblasted last week, and today it, and some other parts for the project got a fresh coat of paint. Next weekend it'll be getting reinforced and prepped for the 1.25" splined Max axles.
