VW Bus with Porsche 911 Power

Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn about how/if this can be done? For my next project I am considering a 50's early 60's westie.

Thanks,

James

JWW's was a 3.2 / webers / 915 and if I remember correctly his had a 911 steering rack in there too.

On what it did -

as he put it "no more of this never get behind a VW bus crap..."

John I'm sure will go over it with you if you wanna do it. He's good like that.
