Wow check this out. Not mine but I wish I had the coin to buy it. Guess I'll forget about that now I've posted it here, looks the biz. Kadron looking dual throttle bodies, thing style fan housing with jumbo oil cooler, type 1 but 2.0 liter ????? Not sure about that one. Anyone know any details about this style engine?

one wonders of the legitamacy of it
if they dont even know the difference between type1 and type4 engines what else of the story doesnt match?

might be one of those crate engines with a efi slapped on or then it may not be either :crazy:

Yeah, but never seen a round oil cooler exhaust, so it's later vintage, and those t/b's and linkages, definitely Kadron(Brazilian) origin. Don't the new bays run water?

thats a brazillian OEM Puma shroud

they started on pumas but used them all the way through late bugs i think

Hi, Can that engine fit T1 Without any modifications? cheers Dean

Hi.. I think it would be a beetle engine. Its not a universal case and if it was out of one of those new new Brazillian bay kombi's you see for sale in the UK would it have provision for a rear mount? I got more questions than answsers.
Is the oil cooler bigger the normal?
Is it 2000 or 1600?
If it has 40mm throttle bodies like Kadrons? you would think it would rev ok so does it have things like solid rocker shafts?
Has it got a cast crank?
Could it be like a SP2 engine? 1680cc ,1.25 rockers, 041 heads with 40mm thottle bodies it may make 90hp. Or is it a 1600 crate engine with 32-34mm throttle bodies that would make more sense.

Bidding has ended. I wonder how much it was sold for? It would be interesting to know what the specs are.


matberry - January 14th, 2010 at 11:02 PM

I guess it was 1600. Maybe someone here bought it.


StephenM - January 15th, 2010 at 05:12 PM
