"9-million" motors were late 1965, equivalent to the "D" 1200 (40 SAE HP). This one was produced in January of `65, and it could've been used in either a Beetle or a Transporter. It had the best 40HP heads ever made and insert cam bearings (earlier 1200s had the cam running directly against the case) and 1.1:1 rockers rather than 1:1. Both the head stud and pushrod lengths are slightly different than those of earlier 40HP engines.

It's possible to use an ACVW engine case as a basis for configurations other than what it originated as by machining the cylinder spigot openings; a 9_________ or "D" 1200 becomes essentially identical to an "F" 1300 or "H0" 1500 case.
