in the USA it was a one year only engine(66) and it was only available as a single port, but never forget that vw's sold worldwide, and many places(europe) have major penalties for larger engines, hence the multitude of 1200 and 1300 engines sold there....and the dual port design was passed on to the 1300's to get the most out of the little engine....

Interesting. Thank you.

The autosticks use a different cam profile. Bus engines I don't know about, it would make sense to me that they would use a more "torquey" cam. A rev limiter distributor rotor can also be found on some T2 engines originally.

huh?

Thanks, I suppose that makes sense, as being automatic they'd require the torque similar to the buses. The reason I'm asking is I'm looking at rebuilding my current engine to a 1776 dp, but I'm concerned as to whether or not I should change or regrind my cam, originally out of a 1300 engine. I won't be reving above 5000rpm much and would need a powerband around

Thanks again Regards Kevin
