Another option is a T4 engine using a DTM fan shroud, a 914 2.0 is 100hp stock. My '67 bug I have T4 2600cc 180hp, 102mm Nickies, 78mm crank and mod T1 H-beam rods, cam, FI, etc with a 911 (901) and 914/4 gearing. I have 20K miles on this engine combo.
Engine about $10K in parts, say $18-20K pro built/installed. You can build a smaller 160hp 2276cc cheaper, but any bigger than 96mm iron cylinders you need Nickies.
I put almost the exact same engine with weber 44mm IDF's in a 356 flared kit, smokin' torque monster.
Not cheap but way less than a Polo.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
