You can run straight cut gears. However, unless you are using heavier springs they are not necessary... Unless you enjoy the wine.
With 1300 single port heads there are many dual carb options.
The Kaddie Shack has Kadron kits for single ports but these may be too big.
CB Performance offers a Solex 34 PDSIT Carb kit. I have this one. The linkage is terrible but it does work.
Weber also makes a 34 ICT kit for single port engines.
There may also be the Baby Delltoro option. |

Straight cut cam gears? Yeah, they'll fit. I don't think I'd want to put them in something like this, but yes you can. They can be noisy and only really needed when you are using really strong valve springs.
Do you have a case that's cut for cam bearings? VW blocks through 1965 did not have them.
1300 single ports - you can put a set of Weber 34 ICTs on there |

Thanks for the reply Wesley, i'm glad there are a few options I can use.
Andy, I really like the whine and its another thing most VW engines do not have. I do not have any motor at all at this point of my build but getting really close to that point. |

1385 fits 87mm cases. if you want to upgrade to upgrade the 90mm 1200 you have to use a 1470 kit that uses 90mm register.
if you have to remachine the barrel surface you can also upgrade to 1650cc kits (90.5)
pm me if you need help. i do them regularly. |

I hope anyone can give me a good advice on a possible Vintage Speed project.
I will be working on 2 ACVW engines (greenhorn alert). What are the best and economical combinations for each engine? I am planning to use dual carb set ups for both engines.
Engine 1
Stock 1200cc
Engine 2
Stock 1300cc
Thanks!

Also, a lot of people used to forget to mention one thing regarding the straight cut gears, that they may give a decent clicking noise when the engine is idling. This is due to increased play of the gears and only does it with some cams and some stronger springs.
The whining noise is good and not so irritating then this knocking.
Best Regards

| Found a 1967 Beetle for sale that has what seems to be a 1200 engine in it with Dual Port heads, Could anyone enlighten me as to just what the engine is and could it be a original set-up? |

The engine number with the letter prefix will tell you what you have: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/bugchassisdating.php
Stock 1200cc engines were single port only. |
Thanks for your link!
Here is the add. It is definitely a dual port engine in the picture. Perhaps it is a Mexico 1200 cc engine, did they have dual port heads?
