Type 3 engine build from type 1 case

[t-royR]

I realize I have a couple posts going on this engine build.
It is a type 1 case, and continuing the build.

I am shopping for used generator and cooling fan.
Will a generator and fan off of a 68 work on a 72 1600 dp?

Yes, although you might have to change the push on spade terminals to bolt on ones. Of course your existing generator might have already been swapped. After 40+ years anything is possible.
I'd look in the Samba classifieds for the fan shroud or contact either Joel or ISP West for one.

I am getting ready to mount the air intake and carb.
On the intake ports in the head, do I use paper or metal gaskets? I have an engine gasket kit that has both.


Thanks
Troy

Hey,

I am closing in on the build completion. I am putting on tin and doghouse.

I'd like to get some recommendations on a good exhaust solution to go with. I don't have the heat exchangers or any other exhaust parts. There seem to be lots of options. Can I go with J tubes instead of the heat exchangers? Does that complicate things and/or drive me to a few distinct options of mufflers and other parts?

Thanks
Troy

My Bad! To clarify, this is for a type 1.

With that said, any thing to add or some different recommendations?

Thanks

this piece of tin fell out from between the 1st and 3rd cylinders when I was feeding the cooling flap rod between the cylinders to connect to the thermostat while I installing the doghouse.

Can someone tell me where this piece belongs.

Thanks

Here is a shot from the samba gallery. You can see that piece of tin and how the cooling flap linkage passes through it. Those tabs simply press in the fins on the underside of the cylinder head.
