RE: Difference in heads

[Jeffrey.Carver@Aerojet.com (CARVER, JEFFREY D)]

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.

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...
