Does anyone know if a 1970 beetle 1500 engine will fit straight into a 1962 beetle ?
I assume it will eventually, but will it need modification ?
Does 1200 engine tin fit on a 1500 ?
Are there any other hurdles to overcome ?

ragged Just ask if you need HELP!

1. The motor will not go straight in.
2. It will fit with some mods.
3. Fan housing is the same but that's where it ends.
4. Are you running 6 or 12 volt?

car is 6v, but if I go this way I would change to 12V
I have heard that the 1500 is wider than the 1200 ?
