from what ive read they dont fit in with out serious body work. ie the rear apron would have to be extended by about half a foot.
you would be better off fitting a 914 motor or a similar 4 cylinder ie kombi as they fit in the body with out serious modification

Someone on here said a while back about Porsche motors - if they fit, they don't go; and if they go, they don't fit. :thumb

there is a black one that was converted by the porsche factory i think, it was mid mounted and the body was elongated between the door and the rear
guard. i saw it in volksworld years ago, i think it was called the nordstat beetle or similar. i may try to find it later.

'but my mate had one with a porsche engine in it..'

sorry
It is a rare conversion in my opinion. There are a lot of mods to be done. Not saying it cant be done but be prepared for a chassis up build.
Busses and type 3 have more room. Grey 57 has a 6 in his type 3 razor. There was a bus at dubs by the pub a few years ago, jamie olivers bus has one
in it.

eeeeeeeeeeeexactly! 
Well... to be politically correct, the 914 engine's had sodium-filled valves as standard and the 2L 914 engine had wierd heads... so they aren't
quite a Kombi engine 
ANywho... I best stop trying to stir trouble!
