No pics available, but I have a '78 Everest 340 that I swapped in a '83 Everest 500 engine. After that I put the rear skid and 3/4" track from a '95 Summit 583. Some day I really need to pull it out of the old shop and get it running again.

I got a 69-73ish Olympic 399 in mint shape! And when I say mint I mean show room condition. It has maybe 3 tanks of gas ran through it ever! The paint is still on the bottom of the skis and the key still has the dealers sale tag on it. And also has a travel tarp that is made for it. My father in law bought it for $40 and gave it to me and my wife. I need to get it running. It had the the points and stuff taken off it and I need to time it. The guy who had it thought the points and condenser was shot but it was a broken wire the the coil. The guy took it apart in 1978 and it sat since then.

I have a 72 blizzard that is halfway through restore. 340 triple/triple...very few around and this one has a green tag motor. when we peeled the paint from the chassis we found a few signatures from whoever built it

340 triple? Must be some tiny pistons.

1969 Skidoo Elan. Single lung. Electric start. No sliders, just greasable bogie wheels. My son is driving it on farm right now.

Gotta love small motors that can Rev forever. I know a guy who had an old 250 street bike with 4 cylinders. I think it revved to 17000. Didn't go anywhere fast but it sounded fast! Lol
