Which engine do we have ?

[Gouwsie69]

Hi,

I have been looking all over the internet and I can't seem to find the engine code related to the engine I am working on at the moment, the code is 6797177.

Its a Baja Bug, if anyone can tell me what engine it is and what year I would be grateful thanks

Thanks for the reply Tony, there are no letters before the number that why I am struggling to figure it out... We thinks it's a 1300cc but not sure

As a guess, 61-65 1200cc
