Engine - DO856046

what can you guys tell me?

Yes

that indicates 71 to me what front end does it have

Mcpherson (sorry bout spelling) but the main thing i want to know is what engine is in it?

can anyone help me with the engine?

Assuming D0856046 is the original factory stamping (does it look neat or does it look like someone has hand-stamped it?), then there are several VW flat engines that came originally with a 'D' prefix.

'D' was originally a 1200cc 25 kw (40hp SAE) engine, made anywhere from 1965 to 2003, which sounds like your one.
'DF', 'DG', 'DH' and 'DJ' were all 1900cc Type 2 engines from 1983 to 1992 - water-cooled - in various states of tune. That's not yours.

Your chassis number that starts 111 indicates a 1971 Superbug. In Australia they usually came with 'AD' 1600cc engines, which have twin pressure relief valves and twin-port heads. Sounds like yours isn't original, so really it could be anything. Who knows what crank, cylinders or heads it has! Does it have twin-port manifolds? Does it have a dog-house oil cooler?
