Looking to buy a Lathe, help me find the right one

[JustTinkering]

ok so now i have a few new questions.

1. lets say the cylinder has a max radius of 9", so i would need a lathe with a minim of 4.5" swing over the bed and carriage?

2. looking at the pic i posted earlier, how would you even get that chucked in a lathe? when boring wouldn't the cylinder have to be balanced? if so, how would you do that with a part that is not symmetrical or balanced?

Thanks
