I am looking at an old Ghia and it has this motor in it. Any ideas on what it is?

Wow, everyone that stops and talks always says they or thier buddy "used to have one, but with a Porsche motor in it", this time it's true.

Looks like a 356 Super engine.

Yes I have heard this story many times before. I had a feeling it may be but wasn't sure. Is there a demand for these things? Im not sure I have a use for it..but they are asking more than I feel comfortable paying for the Ghia.

So is that what bystanders talk to you about when you are gassing up your vintage Porsche?, "My friend had one just like that, but with a 4 cam motor in it" :lol:
