I am trying to identify this engine from a 67 Convertible that I purchased several months ago. (I know many parts are not original in it).

It looks like there was new engine ID tag over the original one. I can tell it is a single port engine, but wondering if anyone has seen this type of tag before. From the Engine ID post, maybe the B identifies it as a 69-70 1600 single port?

Any thoughts? Thanks (VW Newbie)

yep, that's a VEGE tag, most likely a single port 1600

The numbers 429448 are surprisingly well stamped into the band. German font just like the original engine numbers, evenly spaced, not crooked, uniform stamping depth, and level. Must've had a good fixture to imbed the numbers into the band. Too bad the band itself is tilted...

Thanks for the information. Looking at past posts, seems that reviews on the verge are mixed.

Engine runs well, and doesn't leak, so I'll just enjoying and keep it tuned.
