need help identifying a engine

[swabbster]

i have a gp396 snowmobile, i know nothing about the past life, but the engine has a number on the blower housing s433-something, it has a single carb, no choke, built in fuel pump, my plans for it is to build a mini buggy, not like a kids size, but like a honda odyssey, but i would like to know if i can get parts for it still, like gaskets, rings, carb rebuild kits, bearings, etc. also it has 2 coils if that helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi3W3o2DvnM

I wouldn't use it. Very old school and parts are hard to get.

If you want fan cooled I'd go witha 485 Phazer. Much better/newer design. More HP, better on fuel, E-start is available and parts are everywhere.

Is the seat any good on the GP396?. Should have black sides with a red top panel. I could use a seat for my SS433-Same Seat
