VW Beetle (5-cyl content)

[Denis]

  A 2.3 5 cyl is very cheap , they are on 90Q, 90, 100Q and others...
  You dont need that $$$$ stuff to get only 6 hp !! http://www.overlandparts.com/5%20cylinder%20kit.htm
  The easiest way is look at a complete car.
  If money is an issue;
  Get adaptor for engine to tranny.
  Get EFI from Megasquirt , ask Cody Forbes and others... so that way you ll trow away the complexitivity of plug that system on the engine...
  Make your onwn engine supports... they make a cross member to weld the supports...
  The harder way is find a good place for the radiator and plug it,,, but those sites where they did it can help to do it.
  etc

  Check this : its the best i have found ..

    While there have been many engine swaps into busses, the 5cyl is one that
    still gets my attention (how can you go wrong with one of these motors??).
    Whether I ever go this way I don't know, but some are spending the $$'s to
    go with the following: http://www.overlandparts.com/5%20cylinder%20kit.htm
    Others are sourcing their own parts and rolling their own 5-cyl conversions.
    Turbo-bus. Be afraid.
