I have a Puma. It has a Puma shroud, yes heat, no doghouse.
The engine is a 1600 with two Solex 32/34 and a 050 distributor. I am pretty sure it's the same engine that came from the factory in the car. Not sure it it's a dual-relief case, will look next time I'm under it.
Are there Puma shrouds, with heat, with doghouse?
How much space does the doghouse itself take?
Can/should a doghouse be added to a non-doghouse shroud? |

There are puma doghouse ones I think, but they have a tube instead of the chute

For a while, CB sold a shroud, even has a VW number, or one like it. The name was a "Brazil Non-Fresh Air Low Profile Dog House Shroud - OEM".
The # was 040-119-025.47
It's no where to be found on their site now, I just looked. I bought one several years ago from them. |

From factory, no Puma shrouds came with dog house. The only difference is on the profile, lower and wider than beetle.
All shrouds came with out for heat.
The Puma is a light car, a doghouse is not needed with the factory configuration.
With the original 1600 engine the original cooling system works very well.
In fact in Brazil, only the Kombi (Bus) came from factory with the doghouse style shroud. |

CB's Puma shroud came with the front tin with hot air exhaust port and gasket too.

This number is OEM from Kombi model Pick-up 507.
I don't know why they are known as Puma shrouds, AFAIK no one Puma came from factory with it.
Images below are from VW catalog:

| W1K1, that's the same shroud I'm running. That's a good looking engine. |

| IMO dual port get the doghouse shroud, single port stay with what you have. |

I just sold it :?
that was by far my favorite engine, but the car sat so much in the garage since I finished my Squareback i started thinking about selling it. I put a sign on it at a car show 2 weeks ago and it sold. The guy had a cheque for me the next afternoon, i still feel wierd about selling it |

Lucky guy, the new owner :)
--------------------------
Additional info to the OP:
The cooler marked as 1B in the diagram (OEM 040/ 117021/1) will fit in the conventional (no doghouse) shroud without mods.
The one marked as 1 (OEM 040/ 117021/4) also fits, but will need a slight cutting and grinding in few areas
The one marked as 1A won't fit
The flange 4 is required only for doghouse style shrouds |

My Puma has heat ports on the shroud.
I read that the Puma is 1650 lbs, and a Type 1 is about the same. |
