Not certain, but I think it's a 1200  http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=270462

Not sure what the samba page shows (can't open it here), but it should be a 1965 40hp 1200 and have cam bearings.   Not a good engine to build up, but they can be quite reliable if left stock.

With no numbers, it could be anything.  Post a pic of the case.
