Anthiron,

The 1600 Super was a 75bhp engine as opposed to the 1600 Normal which was 60bhp. A later version called the 1600 Super 90 which had, you guessed it 90hp.

The most powerful equivalent Volkswagen engine of this era was 36hp.

Supers were a special order item.

I reckon this engine is a bargain! If my 356 didnt still have its original engine I'd be buying it for sure!

Cheers

Steve
