according to my info a H series motor is a 1500 (from a 67-69) and should be a late 1968 build

Yep H series is from 1500.

Yes
all H prefixes were 1500 engines
the same engine was used in type 3s 1500
plus 1500 beetles..

well it started life as one anyway
most of them these days that have been rebuilt have 1600 cylinders in them
they bolt straight in, are cheaper than 1500s and u get a bigger capacity so its the natural choice for most

well the case is a 1500 but what it is now is anyone guess could have been updated to anything 13, 16 or even bigger
It will have small oil oil galliers and single relief oil pressure not much good as a base for a big engine oe hottie
So what is it you would like to do hot up or keep as a stocker ???
