Make, Model & Year: 1980 Ski-Doo Blizzard 5500
Fondly known as: The Turd
Time spent: 4 year on and off.
Snowmobile cost: 24 Miller Genuine Draft
Engine: Stock Ski-Doo Formula lll 600 motor
Intake: Stock Ski-Doo Formula lll 600 carbs. I had to cut 2″ section and shorten the height air box’s to fit under the hood

Drivetrain: Stock Ski-Doo Formula lll clutch’s, jackshaft, driveshaft, cogs, chaincase, 23/44 gearing and a 136″ track with 1.25″ lugs
Tunnel/Chassis Modifications: Probably the tunnel. I used a Ski-Doo S2000 bulkhead, Rev Renagade 136” heat exchanger,foot boards, 2 Blizzard tunnels a 9500 and 5500. Tunnel was 1” wider than the bulkhead the easiest way to narrow was cut and rivet to exchanger. Original foot boards were to narrow so I used the Renagade ones. Over 100 hrs on tunnel and bulkhead.
