My "Perica" (spanish for "parrot": two tone green paint job) has that engine, and it is a 1,700 cc (1.7 lt as they say now) That engine was used on the Porsche 914, although it is a VW engine, the called that car the VW-Porsche in those days...but had two carbs with two throats each. It is a little detuned from the VW factory for not over heating under the VW bus load, on long road streches. Then, there were the after-market bigger bores...up to 2.1 lt. but not as resistant,. My "Perica, has a top speed of...100 ml/h! Her speedo dial top (at the botom) mark, is 90...so the needle points to the blue HighBeam idiot light, past the 90 mark...at México city altitude (7,500 ft, almost 2,500 meters) on the highway from the Mex. city to Pachuca city (going north) maybe with some tailwind...I have the long diferential, that automatic came from the type 4. Going up from Cuernavaca to México city, on the highway, maximum 60 ml/h (with tailwind too! acceleration is not like a Porsche)...with my labrador Iván & all tools.
