I have been offered an AB engine just built for a customer and they don't want it. I understand it'll need a hanger bar adapter. other than that, fly wheel etc? should it be fine in my 77 bay. Thanks so much. Sent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk
AB is a 1300 beetle engine so unless upgraded it will be underpowered also later bays normally had type 4 engines upto 2l, whats in it currently? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
basically I'm going to use it for summer amd when I get time to rebuild, I can Sent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk
The engine code alone doesn't tell you a lot about the current spec. My case is an AB - originally a 1300 but 1600 P&Bs slot straight in, crank and flywheel are the same AFAIK. The only issue, as you mention above is the need for a hanger adapter plate which fits over the oil pump. Frowned upon by many but I've had no problems with it in many, many years and miles of use
thanks!! I it'll be fine for what I need it for, get me through the summer and rebuild my good original one in the winter Sent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk
Err it's not about fitting it's about weather it's an original 1300 AB beetle engine qed not powerful enough for a bus??? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

If it's 1600 your good to go, what engine do you currently have as I believe the type 4 has a different engine hanger/tinware etc Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
