I have to ask about that Type 1 engine...
Given the diameter of the headers and the size of the intake manifolds I'm guessing it's at least a 2.0-liter - details, please!
Years ago I had an 1835cc with an Engle 120 cam (.435" lift, 294 deg duration), 044 heads (40mm intake, 35.5mm exhaust valves), and a pair of Weber 48IDAs with velocity stacks and match-ported manifolds. At that point I ran out of money and had to use the 1-3/8" exhaust.
One of these years I will build another one and give it the 1.5" (or 1-5/8") exhaust it should have had.

Thank you Sir!
The engine is a 2275 using 94 mm pistons and an 82 mm crank. An Engle 125 with 1.25 : 1 rockers giving about .550 lift at the valve. The heads are stage II wedge ports with 42 intake & 37 exhaust valves. 44 carbs on match ported manifolds and 1 5/8 merged collector. Hoping for 150-160 HP in the buggy

I too am a fan of the classic aircooled Bugs and it's flat 4 engine. Maybe because of my German bloodlines. Thanks for sharing the specs of your engine. Looks good!

Hell, yeah! That sounds like an excellent combination.
When it's ready, a dyno run or three would let you know what it's putting out...

In the past few months I have picked up another hobby. I got real tried of waking up in the middle of the night because one or two of these critters decided to let go a huge blast of their stink glands!!!! I like to have my windows open at night when it cools off. Their stench will fill my whole house and wake me from a sound sleep. I trapped number ten last night. Once they fall asleep, I take them "for a ride" A nice long ride!!!
This one is the biggest one I have caught so far. 6 lbs. 12.5 oz.

How do you move them without getting sprayed? Do you put a towel over cage?
I was catching squirrels under my diesel truck for a while because they liked to chew on the "soy oil" wiring harnesses underneath hood.
I've taught a few how to "swim" but stopped trapping them because I was afraid of catching a skunk!
