The type I Beetle engine was used in the VW bus (with slight mods) from 1950 to 1971. In 1972, the bus received the new type IV engine, although certain counrties continued to use the type I Beetle motor. So yes. Check your flywheel to ensure it is the correct one.
If it's a Super that was made for the US market, it came with a 1600cc engine.

The letter "U" in an engine # means it came from a Type 3 car (Fastback,Squareback or Variant) from late 1967 to late 1972. Fuel injection started in 1967 and it is a 1600 with 12v. That's all I can tell you with one letter.
In 1972, I bought a 1972 Volkswagen beetle for $1,900.
