I have had a idea though, my mate owns a breakers yard, he has a porka boxter s engine out of a recka..... can you see were im going with this. Will a porsche engine fit in a beetle!! He will let me have the engine for a monkey. What do you reckon guys.
I know I will have to change gearing etc, what else will need to be changed?
Typical timewasters. For every decent buyer there's a dozen time wasters.
You won't get a boxster engine to fit in to a beetle. There's a chap down the road from me who's shoehorned an air cooled flat 6 into a bug and that involved a helluva lot of modification. The boxster engine is watercooled and even more of an effort to even attempt to fit than is practially worthwhile.
If you want cheap power in a bug, put a subaru engine in!
