What type of volkswagen engine do I have?
I recently was handed down a sandrail dune buggy and am in the process of restoring it. I can't figure out what type of motor I have, on the top of the block I have the numers T 0378 176 and can't get any info out of it. On the sides I have 46 vw 000.101.101 B and the other side is 18 vw 000.101.102. Does anyone have a clue?? I was told that it is out of a squareback and that it was just under the porshe engine. I have a lot to work on but I need to know where to start...thanks, Steve
i got the answer. it from a type 3 so your right about the squareback part. it is a 1966 motor which makes it a 1600cc. if its in a sandrail then its probably not a 1600 any more. it was most likely bored out for more power when it was put into the sandrial. the motor is run on the 12 volt system which VW began using in 1966.
i used my favorite book "How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive" to find the info. the book has a list of engine numbers and chassis numbers along with dates and engine sizes in this one list. its a really good book and its written so a 5 year old can read and understand it. its an amazing book. the engine nuber i used to find the info was T 0378 176 just in case you were wondering.
