1970 Beetle p/o installed 1500cc single port instead of oe 1600cc single port (only year of the 1600 single port by the way) though i/ve heard the 1500cc single is a better motor anyway. Another interesting note is that 1970 was the only year with its taillight/engine lid combination. It is the only hardtop with a "convertible style" rear decklid (70-72? standard, 71-72? super, not sure what year they stopped)) as well as "small" triangle style taillights (68-70). The taillight housings are also unique in that they are the only "small" ones with holes for the side reflectors.

Had it about a year and a half now. Here is what all I've done to it in no particular order: Replaced windshield and seal, all other window seals, sanded surface rust and spray painted primer. Had all seats redone oe style. added new battery and replaced generator with alternator. (Gen still worked, just wanted more power.) Replaced front turn signals with 66 ones and new lenses. replaced plastic shifter bushing (this should be the first thing you do!). replaced rear shifter rod coupling with pretty new red urethane one. sanded and painted oe wheels, found and cleaned up stock oe hub caps.new tires. New light buls and fuses all around. replaced front and rear deck lid seals as well as front and rear turn signal rubber. added super beetle trim in front of doors (just liked the look). found and cleaned oe body trim, added new carpet with padding from the dash to the package tray(big sound difference), redid entire brake system (master cyl, wheel cyls., rubber and hard lines, shoes and hardware, retained oe drums as they are in great shape). Found best way to get to master cyl is to remove the gas tank, good time to clean it out and replace the screen and rubber hose also. new KYB shocks all around. cut out and rewelded (crudely, fist weld job) rear package tray and rear driver side floor section., cleaned up the welds with some aerosol undercoating and carpet, working so far. new bosch wipers. replaced passenger window scraper (get the good oe style ones if you do this, i got the cheap ones and am not happy, it was a lot of work, for the poor results I got. cleaned up oe rear bumper added t-bars to the front ( front bumber was too far gone to save) replaced bumper bracket rubber front and rear. added front passenger seat belt (p/o had taken it out). added new antenna and driver mirror. only body part replaced was the left rear fender with an oe one. did everything myself except the seats. will maybe paint it one day. Other than that, just driving it when i can.

Just got the call from Proflow. Ported/polished, three angle valve job, stainless valves, high rev single springs! And the best part, they are single port! Oh yeah! Can't wait. Will have pics.

PS

I have read just like everyone else that you cannot port a single port head out enough to flow as good as a stock dual port. I don't care.

Stainless valves with three angle valve job.

Smooth intake port (bad pic)

HD single springs, chromoly retainers and keepers.

Nice heads. With all that flow, the only thing you are missing is the TURBO , lol.

I am going with CB's header for now:

Got the heads on. Waiting on the header.

Heads on, header on, drove it to YU Buggin'. Ran 75 mph all the way there. Sweet.

New look.
