Good candidate for building a saw with a front-tank carcass.  200, 250, 1-43, 1-50, etc.  That's what I'd do..

Na'd rather slip a 125cc 101 in there and tell everyone its an 80cc hot saw or a 49e

That'd be too easy to spot.

Anybody that knows Macs can spot a Super Series engine where a non Super Series should be.  The FW cover gives 'em away...

As I said knowing interchangeability sure helps too

As I recall the 49's had a pretty good record in whatever class they ran in back in the day .

I have the bones of a super 44 Dan Henry gave me that I hope to resurrect into a vintage hotty whenever I find the time .Just a toy more or less .

That would be right, but the end result would be the same......
