hi people can onyone tell me if a type 3 engine has the same crank as a 1300-1600 beetle?

Yes the crank is the same only the case is different but can be modified to suit.

whats the differance between the cases ?

The dipstick hole isn't drilled as the dipstick is in the filler tube and the oil pressure line has a blanking plug fitted.These small obstacles can be overcome fairly easily.
