It appears to have a stamped on "0808" before the 114.
I don't know anything about this engine except that it is a single port non-doghouse with a 6V generator.

There are some other numbers there........looks like a word of some sort and 1-4-3-2.

"Zundfolge"...I think it means "Don't let the SEWR brain trust crap all over your thread".
In Swahili, of course.

Maybe I should have posted this in the "Engines" forum. You guys don't hang out there, do you?

Is this a type I engine or....?

Could it be a manually stamped engine block? What is befor the 0808114

"From April of 1972 Shortblocks were sold with the VW remanufacture symbol followed by a letter. No numbers were used, you were to stamp in the old engine number."

It didn't look like there is anything before the 0808 but I can look again.
It's a Type 1 upright out of a '65 bug.
