Engine swap
 
I was wondering if an engine from a 1987 Porsche 911 Targa could be installed in a 79 WV bus? I have heard that they are interchangeable but wanted to find our for sure before I purchased this engine.
Thanks,
Denise

It's been done plenty of times but it is not just a simple bolt-in operation. At least I do not think it is.

the bell housing matches - but beyond that the clutch, fw, etc are 'way different - it's a slippery slope

if you change to carbs vs the motronic, it will be simpler, but still expensive
