@fuscacorbin I'm using the alternator mount only. The oil spout is non functional. Type 1 and type 4 engines have different oiling systems from the fill to the drain, plus the type 4 came from the factory with a spin on oil filter.
looks like a type 1 to me other than the heater boxes. why , if this is a t4 would you set it up with an upright fan. having the f cooling fan on the crank eliminates the possibility of over heating if you break a belt. besides that it's more efficient for overall cooling of the heads and the oil. your loss I guess.
Type 4 stock is 1700-2000cc (not including the vanagons 1980-1983). I have a 72 bus, which is the first year they put Type 4s in vws and its a 1700. The dual port part is right though.
The 412 was a horrible car. It didnt last.

Because I put in my Ghia convertible, and I didn't want the extra weight or to hack up the engine compartment.

Can I ask 2 questions. (Mebbe 3...)
My family had a 412 when I was a kid. I thought type 4s were 1600. This is 2056cc. Is that stock or have you bored it out?
What other things can you do to a type 4 engine to improve performance?
Can a type 4 engine be fitted to a type 3 body or a type 2?
Your sounds good - what sort of power are you getting out of it?
