A vangaurd is smaller then a intek.... A intek has more tourqe and HP.... But a vanguard has more readily available parts... But its your choice.

Isn't a Vanguard a twin and an Intek a single?

Just because you move up in a class doesn't mean that you'll "loose" the "race", it just means that you're building a better, more capable machine.

Well I am asking because I want to buy a motor from this sight  http://www.tons-of-tools.com/briggs-stratton-4466770127-p-3627.html   and the vanguard and intec have pretty much the same price not much difference.
