12 V you could find a type 3 auto starter that spins over slightly faster

I've run a Century 58EBMF with a Wosp Starter Motor on a type 1 1776cc engine at 9.9:1 compression with no issues.
Hope that helps.

You can get a 'Cranky kit' which adapts a subaru starter motor for use on a VW, I used to need two batteries to turn over the 1916 when I had it, but that kit spun it over way quicker with one smaller sized battery. Paul from steelart customs should be able to help you out.
