Yes the dp heads make a diff to the ruthlessly harsh anal guys.....um like me at times. I did something very simular to my lowered 64 notch with a 1776. I kept the dp heads and the 12v geny all else was dual carb vintage. Use a 3 bolt genny housing instead of the strap kind. Is your car 12 or 6 v?? If its 12 eithor keep the obvious later genny or spend the $ and have a 6v converted to 12 like I did, pain but worth it. After that paint the 12v coil black and slap a 6v sticker on it. Stealth. My 1600 12v sp side draft early motor in my 62 anthy notch looks like a total stock one, mock 6v and all. I do need to change the dizzy, I will soon. Other than that Steve was spot on with the sp balance tube. jason > I'm looking for some good pictures or technical drawings of a stock > 1500S engine. > > I just picked up a complete 1600cc dual port that I want to do a > top-end rebuild on and put it in my '64 notch. the catch is, is that i > want it to look like a stock 1500S engine... well as much as possible. > > i have a correct early fuel pump, i have the bracket to move the coil > to the correct place, and i just want to see what else would be > different. > > anybody on the list do this and have it look correct? i'd like to use > dual-port heads but do any of you think it would be too obvious then? > how much of a performance loss could i expect going to a single-port > 1600cc head just to keep the look of the 1500? > > any tips or suggestions for me? thanks. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
