Hmm, well, if that isn't a after market numbering code then it is:
F0, F1, F2 1966-1970 1300cc 40bhp DIN, 50HP SAE (only 1966 in USA, 66-70 elsewhere)
That is according to the numbering codes found on TheSamba.com
That makes that engine case a very old single oil bypass case. As you can see from the coding, if it is a U.S. engine it was only used in 1966.
Is it a single port or dual port? That would be on the intake of the heads. If it is a single tube coming up to the carb its a single port. If it has a dual looking tube coming off the heads to a rubber grommet looking piece then its a dual port head configuration.
There is a chance that it could be a later case if it was purchased as a short block:
From April of 1972 Shortblocks were sold with the VW remanufacture symbol followed by a letter. No numbers were used, you were to stamp in the old engine number. F1 1300/1600 F2 1300/1600 DO 40hp if last digit is "X" D1 40hp part AD 1600 AK 1967-1974 1500/1600 AM 1600 AS Sometimes seen listed as Super Beetle case for 1973-onward
TY Stinger! Here are some pics.
Yep, that has the VW emblem in front of the engine number so I'm assuming it is one of the later model cases.
Tough to tell from the images but it certainly appears to be a dual port engine.
Looks very very clean.
Looks like a built engine to me.
The only way to truly know what it is would be to disassemble and measure parts.
Could be almost anything.
Pics of the oil pump and pressure regulator area would help identify the case.
Nothing wrong with a big oil port single relief case.
I kind of think its a later model case that probably has the dual reliefs...........Could be wrong though. LOL
When you get a chance Dave, take a shot of the bottom part of the case. Mainly the front and back of the bottom. That will also tell us if its a dual or single relief case.
I dont see the oil regulator plug on the flywheel end.
Is a large (8mm) oil pump.
Interesting
Could be almost anything displacment wise.
But does remind me of the 1300/1500 case for a type 1
Yep, that is a single bypass case.
Looking over the images, it is pretty obvious it isn't a stroked engine. I would guess, with the dual carbs, its most likely either a 1600 or 1641.
That will still be plenty of poop for that trike.
