ask your g-pa, if u cant, ask a mechanic
There is usually a code stamped on the block. Find that and then search online.
look right below the generator mount. there is either 1 or 2 letters followed by some #’s. put it up on here or message me it or compare it to this link from the samba if you can decipher it lol.
theres a good chance your pop didnt leave it stock and built it into something bigger for a dune buggy. but you can at least get the year from the block numbers
