What model type 3 is it?
Problem you have is beetle blocks dont have the mounts for the type3 mustache bar or the port for the oil filler/dipstick

The beetle engine must be the late universal case that hase the provision for the above mentioned oil filler and muontings for the engine support bar.
You will also need all the type 3 cooling system, carbys, exhaust etc etc.
