The engine in the green square is indeed a stock type 3 dual carb engine, but the airfilter is of the pre 71 style. My guess is that it's a converted U code engine, not the proper T code dual carb version.
1700's actually have less HP than the stock engine, abeit more torque. Not
worth the effort of the conversion for a 1700. And if the FI is gone
somebody who didnt know what they were doing has probably owned it, and let
thier mechanic hack it up. But for $175? hey! ya cant go wrong.
I peeked at page 2 of the pictures. The engine's got T3 cooling tin, and
Solex 32PDSIT carbs (with the oilbath cleaner) .. as long as the carbs are in good shape there shouldn't be any more hassle than what '66-'67
T3 owners deal with. =)
