Porsche into '76 Bus
I have just acquired a 1976 Bus (1.6 litre) and have been offered a 2 litre Porsche engine.

My questions are:

What would make this an easy swap? I have been told 914 engines are realtively easy.

What should I look out for when I view the engine. What will tell me what model it is?

Do I need to consider anything else, such as the transmission etc?

Anyone done one of these before?

Hope you can help.
