So how do I know if it needs to be align bored? I brought it up
thinking it was a given.

Hey Nick,
A simple update would be to move up in displacement to 1641.
Hopefully your case does not need to be align bored, unless you
know some one who does it correctly, there is a lot of debate on
this... and have seen enough aligned bored cases that have low oil
pressure problems. If you do not have low oil pressure I would
leave it alone.
I would also make sure that the cylinder landings on case are also
decked.
Once you start changing the valve train you will need to change
other things.

I know I've asked this before but cannot find where I think
Bill gave me a recommendation - I apologize for the repeat
question.
I have a 1974 Standard Beetle with the original 1600DP and to
my knowledge has never been rebuilt. I want to rebuild it
myself for max power and longevity without any block machining
and able to use the stock carb and my SVDA distributor while
keeping cost in the reasonable range.
So I'm sure it will need align boring and the heads rebuilt.
What piston, cylinder and crank combination(s) would be best
and most economical? I know there are lots of combinations
and I've looked at aircooled.net <http://aircooled.net> and
GeneBerg.com for info but find it somewhat confusing.
Thanks,
Nick
