It can be done, I helped a mate put a 3 litre and box into a 66 split. Fitting them wasn't the issue but rebuilding the engine was, make sure that engine is in good condition because you will be spending more on that than what it will cost to build a 2.3 litre type 1 motor with more power than the Porsche

I think the going rate for a blueprinted 3.2 SC motor is about £30k.

My point exactly. I’m not saying don’t do it, I think it’s a cool engine swap BUT chopping the bus about to then fit a shagged Engine which need that spent on it would be rather frustrating. A 3 litre is about 200hp I think, a 250hp turbo type 1 would be about 10-12k.
