Gone from 44 Kadrons back to 34 pict 3, motor must be quite mild.

Not saying it isn't a 1776, but it would have been nice to have had some photos before the engine was pulled out and with its dual carbs in place. How do we know for sure its a 1776, looks like any other 1600 to me.

Not meaning to be negative, just curious.

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

take the heads off and look at the numbers.......a trained eye could tell from the spiggot holes/machining on the case
