Snowtrack restauration project

[Snowtrac Nome]

that new heater is a nifty little unit i don't know why you would need it as the heater boxes put out some awsome heat. but if gas didn't cost so much it would be nice to have one to keep the cabin warn when the machine is turned off.

dds,

He has a header on his engine, I think. So this is the only cabin heat...

When parked on Lake Winnabago, I have used this heater on low setting for a cozey cabin at 0 deg. On high I bet it may work for you. 16oz.Propane tanks lasts nearly 5 hours on low setting. Add an optional hose kit and hook it to a larger tank out side your rig's cabin.

speaking of heaters last week I had a few sparks blowing out of my heater . What i did was cover my intake with a plastic bag to keep water out while sitting and transporting. I didn't remove it and it heated up faster than my oil temp guage reading. Then when i removed it the air blew smoke and sparks inside.
One passinger asked "is that normal". I have the old stale air heater in my snow trac. no damage it run all night good but 3 of us bailed out really fast. I must have climbed over two large packs and snowshoes in record time.

SNOWTRACK with GM Ecotec 2.4 engine

Just finished the installation of an Ecotec 2.4 engine in my snowtrack

Ecotec Engine is a perfect choice for Snowtrack!

No modifications to the engine: exhaust manifold on the correct side

Cabine water heater is so much fun, cabine a lot less noisy, 175 HP

 

[DAVENET]

Very nice! Hopefully you kept lots of notes because I'm sure you are getting ready to be bombarded by the Snow-Trac crowd.

Also, hope you have more snow up your way than down here.

you wouldn't catch me sticking a computer in mine other wise it is some outstanding workmanship. what did you do for a cooling system kind of looks like you have a heat exchanger along the side of the track.

 

[akimp]

Very Nice Work

 

[Sno-Surfer]

That looks like a great install. Real clean. I'd like to see some video of it in the snow!

 

[louis]

On this video, see the radiator capsule in the back and the tubing which carry the prestone are used also as a heat exchanger

Picture of the heat exchanger

Those black tubings carry the prestone from the engine to the radiator and diffuse by the splash of the snow at least 35% of the heat

for the computer you must use GM E 67
you can make your wiring harness or buy one already built from different suppliers

 

[louis]

the BOSH starter can not crank the ECOTEC engine
with the ecotec engine you have no choice to install a high torque starter
The high torque starter #acc-c10-5767 from WWW.CIP1.COM fit better , because the mouting flange is adjustable

I do want to see it moving and maybe a ride along on the inside
