I HAVE a 1600 dual port engine in my '67 Sqbk. Muir is wrong. I bought it from the dealer who got it from the first owner. Essentially I'm the second owner, it had never been rebuilt when I got it at about 100K with the heads a popping. This particular engine was very popular with dune buggie builders 'cause of the 12V, dual port 1600, dual carb set-up, course they'd throw them fancy carbs on there instead of the Solex's.

The Dual part head was introduced in 1967. Double oops! Did I mis-read St. Muir? He states: "1971. Dual port heads to the 1600 engine" (for Type 1) and ditto for Type II. Can't find a statement about T3. Did I interpret this incorrectly? Or...blasphemous thought... could St. Muir be in error? I await the definitive judgment on this issue.. Best... Phil dillard@suu.edu
