The Type 1 and Type 2 used the same engine through the 1971 model year. In 1972, the Type 2 received an engine known as the "Type 4" because that's the car it was in first. It's a lot different from the Type 1 engine. It has an aluminum engine case (versus the magnesium case in the Type 1), it's bigger, it's made a lot better, it has an oil filter, the oil cooler is sticking out the side of the engine instead of being on top, the cooling fan is bolted to the end of the crankshaft (advantage: if the fan belt snaps, the engine won't melt) and it weighs a LOT more.

Where can you find heater boxes for 1700cc vw engine?

I just thought about this...answer's the same (aircooled.net and busdepot.com both have these) but a 1700cc VW engine is probably in a Bus...which means it's a Type 4 engine instead of a Type 1 engine...which means the heat exchangers are REALLY expensive--as in "more than twice the price of a Type 1 exchanger" expensive. $244.95 at aircooled.net.
