Looking for a later/larger engine that will suit my '57.
1600 for example, just something complete and ready to drop in.
Cheers
Located in Sydney.

do you have the origional split case gearbox still in the car ???

VW 057 · 12 Jul 2007, 1:23 pm

Sorry, left that part out.

I have the oval body on a '69 pan (the gearbox is from the '69)

what would be the best way to go? Originality is not an issue

Turbo!

1600 no problems less cost

whats wrong with the 36er

You'll find you'll need to modify the rear tinware to get the later engine into the early engine bay.
