It was what I’m assuming to be a one off casting I got with a bunch of other weird parts including a cast lower case half that accepts 701 style bed plates and a 5mm stroker crank..
I was going to run it because I couldn’t afford a lay down at that moment but decided otherwise when I couldn’t clear power valves.
I’d have to dig up some pics I sold it years ago.

If you end up looking for tuning specs or anything PM me I have pages of stuff I wrote down over the years
It’s going to be incredibly fun, they’re awesome motors and feel totally different then a 61x/62t platform. They just keeeeep pulling. I’m very curious to see how the b pipe performs, we made all sorts of wild chambers including center bleeds for these motors but never tried a b pipe.

Oh good call. haha I just slid the motor forward for the picture, but we will have to move it forward so the b pipe head pipe clears the side.
All great input though, I like hearing about to solve problems with interesting solutions.

Super Jet - What is the difference between the 66e and 62T cases?
Hi All, Still trying to decide what engine to build up for next year. Can anyone tell me what ski the 66e bottom end is from and what is different between it and the 62T? Like can a 66e be used with 61X/62T/64X cylinders? Thanks, Dan

Kirk, I'm curious if that left mount goes onto the boss. If so it wouldn't be hard to fab up something to go on the other side.
I would be very interested in a weight comparison of the 66e motor to a typical stock cylinder yamaha and maybe a billet big bore (billet cylinder probably a little heavier than a stock cylinder).
I've heard lots of rumors and guesses but I don't think I've ever seen somebody actually doing a weight comparison on the same scale of like-like motors. Not one with carbs and one without or one with exhaust manifold and one without and then guess what the manifold weighed or that sort of thing.

Sorry for thread jacking I’m done : )
I will weigh a 1200 dasa next to a 1000cc 66e stroker in the next month or so and post it. Short blocks

Heres a setup I'm going to test hopefully this week. Big bore 66e 950cc. This motor has Brandon Reeds custom cases, these allow the motor to set upright and also allow the 62t bedplates to be bolted on. I also have a prototype cast manifold from him that adapts the bpipe. Full size gas tank...

exhaust manifold looks familiar

Trevor and I took some weights. When I put together the video I’ll record some weights here.

I really think a lot of the weight difference is in the exhaust manifold and exhaust, everything is much beefier on an 800, cases, crankshaft cylinders, head , flywheel, everything

This ski won't make it. It would be fun to ride in the surf but the logistics of getting this in the trailer makes it complicated. I'll be there with many of the usual MN crew. Should be fun.
