Looks like it could be a tight fit?

now they fit V8's into beetles so with the cunning and imagination of forum members surely it will fit - I got a shoe horn😉

^^^ hehe yeah.
to have it fit in a beetle i reckon you would have to cut out the back seat... make mods to the floor so it didn't buckle when you floor it in third... find somewhere to mount a radiator.... rig up the trans shifter to the steering wheel... find a diff to hold the power... and a tailshaft to get the power to the diff... and brakes to hold the speed... and suspension to hold the package to the road... blablabla
but if money and time no object....
personally i reckon your better of making a buggy out of it than trying to fit it into a beetle. light weight so it wont take too much to stop it and turn it...
