VW motor into 356 B T6?
I've inherited my mothers "Honeymoon Special, 3 Generations". It is in need of a motor rebuild. I intend to put a VW motor in until the original motor can be rebuilt. What problems am I going to encounter? Thanks. Russ

Fitting the sheet metal, maybe the clutch setup, maybe generator/regulator voltage

It should not be that hard. Finding the right clutch, pressure plate and bearing might require some research. Is a T6 6v or 12v? If its a 6 you can use 6volt VW stuff or convert it to VW 12v. None of this is going to be hard to do. Fitting the sheet metal can be accomplished with a cardboard mock-up. Or you can give me a deal on your T6.

Standard T6B would be 6v.
