Does anyone know if a 1970 beetle 1500 engine will fit straight into a 1962 beetle ?
I assume it will eventually, but will it need modification ?
Does 1200 engine tin fit on a 1500 ?
Are there any other hurdles to overcome ?

1. The motor will not go straight in.
2. It will fit with some mods.
3. Fan housing is the same but that's where it ends.
4. Are you running 6 or 12 volt?

as ^^ said

has a lot to do with flywheels, starter motors, gear boxes, 6volt V's 12 volt

no 1500 tin is different including fan housing

All easily over come tho for it to fit

car is 6v, but if I go this way I would change to 12V
I have heard that the 1500 is wider than the 1200 ?

I have a 1600 in a 54 bug
