Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat El Tigre 290 Snowmobile (1974)
The 1974 Arctic Cat El Tigre 290 is a legendary performance snowmobile, renowned for its racing success and agile handling. While often referred to as the 290cc model, it was equipped with a 295cc Kawasaki twin-cylinder engine (model T1C295 RS1A), specifically designed for "track tuned" performance. This model was a key player in racing, including a victory at the 1974 Winnipeg 500. For the 1974 model year, Arctic Cat offered the El Tigre with various engine displacements, which served as distinct trims. These included the 295cc (track tuned), 340cc (trail tuned), 400cc (track tuned), and 440cc (trail tuned) versions. There were no mid-cycle generation or engine changes within the 1974 model year itself; the different engine sizes represented the available configurations from the outset. Q: How do I ensure this part fits my 1974 Arctic Cat El Tigre 290?
