im planning to build a hyd power pack by using a perkins engine either 3cyl or 4cyl i have a small power pack wich will run the infeed and log deck

For a saw, try and get an old harvester head. It has everything you need on it, and you could just cut the whole sawbox off.

Bear in mind it will need a bit of power to run it, but most will cut 24" in seconds.
