And what type of liquor bribes the judges, not for budget, as it'd be a exhibition only entry, but for safety reasons.

 

My favorite parts are the supportive bench seat and the steering angle being frame limited

you want a turbocharged, aircooled, 2-stroke?

This feels like the ultimate "here, hold my beer" situation.

Kinda want...

I appreciate the inclusion of a steering damper. I'm sure that does wonders for it's stability

They make a quite small turbo with a total loss oiling system, especially designed for snow mobile motors.  Has a little oil reservoir and a wick that goes down to the bearing.  You fill the oil tank up when you fill the gas tank.  I've seen them on Harleys.

The biggest issue with Arctic Cat in those days, was they did not build their own engines, they bought from pretty much every engine supplier, like JLO, CCW, Kawasaki, etc. And some of those engines are pretty poorly supported for even stock parts, like crank seals and gaskets.

I do have a Rotax 335cc single-cylinder snowmobile engine I could be convinced to part with.

A 292cc single cylinder sounds like a very old Arctic Cat engine.

That is a very old unit, based on the clutch.  Pre 1973 would be my guess.  

I've been out of the snowmobile game for a very long time, but I'm pretty sure they have all been Suzuki powered since 1976.  That fan housing looks very Yamaha-ey.

He thinks it's a 74. Says it's an almost brand new cylinder.
