Blown engine on Bandit 150 chipper question

[no tree to big]

When you turn on the cruise controll unit it will try to hold the rpm you set it at. All you need to connect is a vacuum line and a throttle cable and have a way to activate. It might be a little slower reacting but it's better than nothing. I have seen these modified to work on other applications so I'm not sure how it would perform on a chipper but don't see why it wouldn't work.

Thank you sir, I'll see what I can dig up

I recently bought a 1995 bandit 150 chipper with a ford 2.3 engine. I just got it apart and its got a hole in the piston, so it needs a complete rebuild or replace with something else.
My question is, Is the 2.3 worth rebuilding ? It will cost over $1000 I will be chipping up to about 8" . Or would I be better off trying to find somthing with a little more power ? Can any one tell me what other motor will bolt up. Can I use somthing out of a mustang or ranger ? I know my 2.3 is an industrial motor so Iam guessing it has a smaller cam to make power down low. Thanks..

I just rebuilt a 2.3 it cost 1,700 but he rebuilt it with industrial parts so I think so. Can you tell me how many RPM to run this engine at? Thanks
