About the Volkswagen 1600 Engine

Originally offered from Volkswagen in 1971 for the Type I (Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Thing) and Type II (Bus), the dual-port '1600' (1584cc actual displacement) was the perfect combination of performance, efficiency, and reliability.

With improved carburetion, oiling, and dual-port cylinder head design, the '1600' engine proved to be a significant improvement in performance over VW's earlier '1200', '1300', and '1500' single-port engines, while maintaining the high levels of fuel economy and reliability that VW drivers had grown to expect.

This engine will fit all conventional Type I and Type II 'upright'-style engine applications from 1950 to 2006.

*The Not-So-Fine Print

All major components and critical internal parts in Genuine Darryl's Engines are brand new, first-quality parts. Occasionally, due to availability issues, some non-critical, non-mechanical parts like engine cooling tin, intake risers, nuts, bolts, etc. may be substituted with high quality, refurbished parts.

See, that wasn't so bad.
