1600 gearbox? 2L gearbox?

Post by Elliot »

Hello
could anyone please tell me if an Aircooled 1600 4 speed gearbox is the same as an Aircooled 2L 4 speed gearbox?
Thank you

I fitted a bored up 1600 bug engine to an Aircooled 2l box and it worked quite well but I did have a modified camshaft. Also clutch different size.
