VW engine and Trans into a 356?
I just received a 61 356 porsche from my uncle. However, it is missing both the engine and transmission. I have a friend that owns a VW store and will sell me a VW 1600cc engine and transmission. I was wondering if I could put them into the 356 for now? If so, can anyone tell me what parts I would need.
Thank you for your help. Dell |

Hello
The trany will need some adaptions to fit. Your 61 chassis needs two nose cone rubbermounts and the U-bar on the rear. If you can´t fabricate/DIY a used 356 trany would maybe be the faster way to go. BTW a IRS bug trany is even more fabrication work then you have to refabricate the rearaxle with VW or 924 parts. The engine is nearly a bolt on. Only modify/fabricating the shrouding and the gas throttle linkage. The clutch can be a missmatch depending on the partsmix. Grüsse |

Thanks for the info. I gave him an email, and he has a book that tells you how to put a VW engine into a 356 and a 356 engine into a VW.
Thanks again for the info. Mike |
