As Steve stated the engine bay on the 61-63 T3 is narrower due to the single carb set-up. In 64 it was nessary to widen it to allow space to acess the sides of the carbs for adjustment and removal. If you wish to use the 68 motor as the beater motor and save the original 63 then AND keep an original set-up to the laimen then you will need to do the following: Find good single port heads for the 68 or use the ones off the 63. Find early single port narrow tin 61-63 (hard to find) or find 64-66 single port tin and cut it to fit the narrow bay. Find a 6v fan housing to replace the 12 one on the 68. Get a 6v flywheel. This is what you would need to get to put a 68 into your 63. Or you could just get some nice "extra" single port heads and take all the tin, carb and other stuff fom the 63 motor and make your motor with the 68 long-block less the heads and flywheel. Thats what I would do if you dont mind the usage on the original motor stuff. As always Im here if you need the help. On a side note to Rob, I just found a guy with a 64 notch here in Murrieta. Stock and clean and ready to hang out at shows. jason ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
