The 1.7L type 4 engine was introduced in 69 (I think) in the VW type 
4 car where it was used through 73, the 74 got the 1.8L. The Porsche 
914 got the first type 4 2.0L in 72. The bus got each of these 
somewhat later.

I think early type 4 cars were available with dual carbs in Europe, 
and the 72-3 busses came with dual carb type 4 engines in the US. 
There certainly are such setups to be had.
