OK, I learned something. The '72 bus had a T-4 and the old body style.

I knew about the busses, now owning one that is a 74 and choosing 74 for exactly the reasons outlined. It is interesting about the 1600 and the early intro in the 411s.

As other have written the Type4 engine made its debute during late -68 in the VW411 with twin carb 68HP engine. But beware of the 1st model years ('69) engine case it is of a softer type of metal mix, the case was made stronger to match model year '70 when the D-jet was itroduced.

The oldest TIV case I have is from 1968 and the case is magnesium instead of aluminum.. It came from a 412 euro model.. They used 200mm flywheels like the type 1..
The 1600 T4 used in the Supervee was based from an industrial engine foundation. The first Bus to receive the T4 was from 1972 with an engine code of CB. |

My friend has a 411 or 12 setting beside all of his t3's in his pasture. Now if only I could find a good application for my t4's. Beetle pickup, three wheeler or my fg speedster. All my subys keep pushing them in the corner. I think the t4 with a 901 and ms mounted forward from the axle line might be a good three wheeler application, although it is pretty heavy.

QUOTE(underthetire @ Dec 14 2010, 04:05 PM) QUOTE(URY914 @ Dec 14 2010, 03:17 PM) I thought the '73 was the first year of the TIV in the bus? They changed the body style in '73. I know 72 was a T-4, without an access hatch to get to the carbs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) And not sure of any body change then, just different bumpers. front turn signals moved about that time too on the bus. the european ghia had a pancake fan housed type I motor (like the squarebacks did) |
