I know this isn't incredibly bus related but what the hey. I've been thinking about buying a '70's standard beetle and building an engine for it. I was just wondering if I should start looking for a used 1600 or if a later bus engine would bolt up. I want to put in a cam, larger cyls, pistons, etc. and it would be nice to have the bottom end of a 1700. how about prices? I imagine it is probably cheeper and easier to find parts for the 1600. thanks. Ed.
