T3 cars, not 3rd generation buses, came into the US about 64-65+-, but were in Europe in about 62-63, & had a 1500 cc pancake engine in them, IIRC. No idea on the Bay window engine sizes as I was never a Bay window aficionado.

On second look though, a 1600cc engine was probably the upright. Not sure if there was a difference in cc's in the later engine. Maybe it was the 1800? I can't remember the minutia. That later engine used in the last few years of the Bay's was a hot little engine that didn't seem to mind upgrades. I believe that is where the old story that it was a "de-tuned" Porsche engine came from.
