The 911 bug I read about in the early 80's used a 914 chassis with a 2.7rs motor and a super beetle body cut length wise to fit the chassis. My vision was to use one of the aftermarket tube chassis's that fit the stock body (I had a '57 oval window shell at the time) and use a 911 motor.
I got out of bugs and moved into crewcabs. After reading about Porsche putting 3.2's in the Vanagons (B32) I pursuit that approach. Over the last 14 yrs I've run a few different 911's in my '68 crewcab. Started with a '73E 2.4 carb motor, moved to a stock '86 3.2, then converted that to 46mm pmo's, Electromotive ignition and a few other add ons. A few years ago I got the bright idea to stuff a stock 3.0 turbo motor in there. That morphed into a modded 3.3 with about 400 h.p. I used a stock '73 trans with the 2.4, a '84 trans with a 7:31 and short 5th with the 3.2. The trans was rebuilt and beefed up, and the 7:31 replaced with a 8:31 by Wevo. Fun stuff!
With the dramatic price rise of Porsche parts, the days of 911's into VW's is pretty much over.
