If your fan housing has holes for the thermostat parts then the engine is likely not original. >>I also need the early shift knob, all white,<< They come up occasionally at the swaps, but are usually in poor condition. A better bet might be to have someone like Koch's refinish a later gray/white knob in solid white. That's what I plan to do since my original shift knob is turning to dust. >>and both the square emblem for the hood and the side Karmann emblem that goes just in front the wheel well and just back from the passenger door.<< Your best bet is to rely on Type 34 Registry connections. A few NOS ones have come up in recent years but the prices can be obscene ($250+ for the front emblem isn't unlikely). Another 1962 343 restoration underway. Not for the faint hearted, but worth the effort.
