Hi
Picked up a motor and was told 1600... now a colleague says no. It's a 1200
Engine is stamped as per the picture attached.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Looks like an industrial engine by the oil return line into the generator stand. More pics will help...that engine number isn't normal. My vote is an industrial 40hp or 1600

Yes, 126- prefix is industrial

Industrial engine # chart on the site here
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/industrialdating.php

126-058327 appears to be past the charts on the site so hard to say the date/size but as 1600cc seems like a good guess.

More photos would help...

I'm interested to see more regarding the oil return line too, does it have an oil filter?
