The WA VW Club has an old Type 1 pan and engine etc., that has been sectioned for display.
I'm in the process of mounting it onto a trailer for ease of transport.
The pan number is 1780041, which is a 1954.
The engine number is 20-0994741. I can't find that number in Muir.
Can someone please tell me what year, capacity, HP etc., the engine is?
Thanks in anticipation.
chassis number 1,774,681 to 2,226,206 1958 model

Thanks Lee.
It's a bit confusing.
For a 1954 pan thare is a dash after the first 1, so it's a 1958. It looks older. There are no bump stops on the rear shock absorber towers.
The engine is definitely an old one.
The carby is a Solex 28 PCI, with no electric gizmos on it and the generator stand is cast integrally with the casing.
You can't find it cos you're looking in the wrong area 😉
20- means it's a splitty 36hp engine not a bug.
A quick gander on TheSamba puts that around early 55
Thanks joel,
The info is in Muir. I just didn't look in the Type 2 section.
