This is a VW engine with aftermarket carbs and intake manifolds because the manifolds merge before diving under the sheet metal.

@AcomsRazor1776 whatever youtube nutswinger, you knew what i meant. i didnt realize this was an english clas oxford dictionary on line knowledge forum.
Combustion chamber the vw engines had more of a pent roof chamber. There is no comparison that the Porsche 356 series engines were designed for making power.
ALL comments suggesting a 356 and VW engine are the same are simply wrong. While some (very few) parts are interchangeable the fact is that they are unique air cooled engines. Looking at it another way, a rebuilt VW engine will set you back $2K. Rebuilding a 356 engine .... $8K - $10K ..... enough said?
The Type 616 engine used on 356s for most of their live started out as a design for Volkswagen of a diesel engine. It was incredibly slow! VW elected not to offer it so Porsche bought it back and used it for its own cars.
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old DOHC Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
Use 1:100 (1%) two stroke oil in your tank to prevent tank and engine corrosion if you use the modern aggressive fuel that contain 5-10% methanol (not good for the old engine and fuel system materials!)
If you look at the internals it's very obvious that the Porsche engine is engineered to produced a lot of power and stay together, where the VW is not supposed to produce much over its original 30HP.
Anybody that thinks this is any kind of vw engine has obviously never seen one of these in person to xompare them. Very few parts would even fit each other, even with modifying them. Also motors are electric, noobs!
@grahamovgibb Maybe you should pick up a dictionary once and a while.
"Motor-A device that converts any form of energy into mechanical energy, especially an internal-combustion engine or an arrangement of coils and magnets that converts electric current into mechanical power." _Websters Dictionary. Eat that "Noob"
@grahamovgibb Nah, motor is an accepted term for an internal combustion engine. I've won that bet more than a few times. Generally from the same sheepdips that think turbo cars have "intercoolers".
and for the people who thinking its the same as a VW engine the are wrong. but at one time in history the where almost the same, al later engines are more and more different.
The case is Vw, the standard alt. stand (as pictured) will not bolt to a 356 or type 4 vw/porsche case. The heads are dual port VW, if they were 356 they would be single port, if they were type 4 or 914 the exhaust ports would point towards the ground not fore and aft as in standard VW. If heads & case are VW then it's a VW engine DumbAss !!!!
Since when do VW type 1, 2, and 3 engines have oval exhaust ports and huge valve covers? Or the fuel pump mounted below the distributor? Or the generator stand mounted at an angle? How 'bout the shroud? The cathedral-shaped upper cylinder tins? Ever seen an early shroud with that kind of intake? Where in the description does it say anything about a 914?
Clearly, you've never seen an original 356 engine.
I agree with you, this guy doesn´t know what he´s talking about lol, the difference is more than evident!!!! You can clearly distinguish a VW engine from a Porsche engine.......
No, there is alot of differencies, but its easy to spot the porsche engine from the vw, from the exhaustport shape.... the heads are totally different, pistons too, the block is different etc... the list goes on...
is that actulay a porche engine i thought it was vw

Why are some retards angry because someone says this is a beetle engine? The first 356 engines were made by vw (just like many other parts).
But later the 356 engine had an improved design of the beetle engine(to get more power). So why isn't it allowed to call this a beetle engine?
I think there's little left of the original 911 design too, but we still call it a 911!!!

also, one key difference is in the alt/gen stand mounting surface.
on the vw its flat, whereas on the porsche its angled...another detail oriented difference between the two
