Matt,
Do you need a rebuildable core, a rebuilt or used or?
If you live in Manassas VA, there's a lot of VW activity there. You should be able to find parts locally.

Prefer a running engine that I can use while I rebuild my current engine.
Why just single port - dual is out of the box 10 hp more --- and newer. Ah, must already have a 36 hp Osaka blower standing by.
I've read that single port engines are "torquier"....just what I've read but my experience with them is that they're very good.
Its for a stock 62 Beetle. I could use a DP but I was trying to stay stock.
Matt:
Stock Engine for a '62 is a 6 volt 1200cc 40HP.
If/when you find an engine, Single or Dual Port, it'll probably be 12 volt.
Flywheel/Starter and starter bushing are different on 6 volt. (different no. of teeth and starter bushing larger)
Is your '62 still 6 volt? If so, you'll probably want to update it to 12V, or swap the 12Volt flywheel and clutch assy (200mm) for a 6v flywheel and clutch assy (180mm) if you leave it 6 volt.
The 12V flywheel is larger dia. than the 6volt flywheel. If your tranny started out life as 6volt you'll have to clearance it for the larger dia. 12 Volt flywheel.
Another difference is that the 6 volt flywheel uses a gasket between end of crank and mating surface of flywheel instead of the "O" ring that the 12 volt flywheel uses. End play will also have to be checked and reset (.002 - .006).

Yes already 12 volt, No big deal, I just want a running engine to cruise around in while I rebuilt my stock motor.
i've got a 1641 fresh out of my vintage speedster. it's missing the carbs, alternator, fan, etc (i did a motor swap), but it's otherwise all there. it has 6500 miles on it...
if you're iterested i can send you pics.
