Anyone for a V8 Chainsaw?

Not real practical, but this 253CI Holden does a real quick job of it.

I live American-style overkill for the sake of overkill. I've seen a V8 blender and a few others things of that nature.

That's just... insane. I liked how it jumped around when he blipped the throttle in the video.

I'd like to order one of those... just to have. Not sure what the heck I'd use it for, but it would be a great conversation piece.

I think someone should trump that and do a 6.7l PSD Chainsaw.

If you follow hot saw there was a guy a few years back that used a old Kawasaki 750 triple to power his saw. If you can imagine holding a 100hp 2 stoke chain saw.

Problem is it's a GM motor, probably won't last more than a few cuts.

I'll concede the arguably part, they're wonderfully insane! But I think we were the pioneers of overkill
