In my opinion, stamping numbers on the blank case is as bad as turning a nice 15 window into a 23. _________________ Looking for a correct 1967 rear seat

i am not sure this is such a problem, for several years VW did stamp replacement cases with the old engine number. Is it really better to leave an un-numbered case un-numbered? We are not talking about vin numbers here.
With the same logic (later misrepresentation) you could say that leaving the block un-numbered lets somebody else punch in whatever numbers they feel like punching in...
i totally get the whole "original engine" original paint, original everything idea
Maybe a good compromise would be the original number followed by an X? _________________ regards

As to a later owner stamping it, you don't need a blank to do that. Talk to the Corvette guys about "shave and restamp". Misrepresentation is wrong no matter who does it. _________________ Looking for a correct 1967 rear seat

That is useful.
If you look at the charts for June-September, 1966 the numbers are a little wacky:

Your October, 1966 bus engine # report makes me think the ending October number there might be out of wack too. |
Looks to me like the August number is the one that's out of wack. _________________ Looking for a correct 1967 rear seat

Hi all, I have a early May of 58 panel van. I would like to see if anyone has a 36hp engine between:
345-671 and 463-618
Actually, any 36 would be good but a period correct motor would be sweet.

Saw this on the Inland Empire Craigslist (CA) today. Appears to be a May 1955 case #20-1058216.

As a unit repair tech in 79- it was almost a given that the numbers on a rebuild new case were stamped into a rebuild- When The place closed the shop foreman gave me the letter stamps and the numbers- but the numbers were just a shorter than VW's originals. Believe this was the case for all stamp sets coming out of Oregon.
SO-- if any one has an engine with numbers just a tad to small- would like some references- thanks Bill. _________________ some days I get up and just sit and think. Some days I just sit.
