Need 356 engine crash course

I stumbled onto a 356 engine for sale, which I'm tempted to buy it and install it in my '56 Karmann Ghia. I've done some looking on the Samba, Pelican and Google, but I can't really find the info I need.
  • what do I need to look for when buying one of these engines?
  • can I use my VW starting rig (bellhousing, starter, wires, battery, gas can, etc) to test this engine on the ground?
  • what is involved in putting this engine in my ghia?
  • are there any websites which detail the process?
