Chris7 , this engine will fit into your type 3 without any modifications . I will try to post some pic's when I get a chance , but it looks like a new engine . I can also swap the type 1 intake manifolds and air cleaners for the type 3 units if you want the carbs , ROD , 02-42729920 .

Have a look at the first post on this thread 🤪 the extra cubes wont be much different, only a crank shaft.
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
