1600 engine

This shot shows an engine I've build.
First intentions was to put this powerplant into a T2b single cab but plans changed when the engine in the owner his 67 bug (which I build for my Mexican daily driver some 10 years ago and later on sold it) felt like it has had the best of it.
So we decided to put the new engine into the bug.
Engine is pretty mild and features all new bearings, Engle 110 cam, new cam followers,Gene Berg valve springs on bolt-on rocker arms. Carbs are Dell Orto 40'ies operated by a BAS-lickage. Ingintion comes from a classic 009 distibutor with Compu-Fire and Bosch blue coil.
Original fuel-pomp has been replaced by an electric Bugpack unit.
