Hi there,

I've built only beetles before, so my knowledge of Type 3s is limited. I just recently purchase a 1971 Type 3 Squareback and a 1969 Ghia coupe. The Squareback has no engine in it at the moment, the Ghia has a rebuilt original engine.

I'm doing the Ghia custom with a 911 engine, and I'd like to take the original Ghia engine and put it into the Squareback.

The original Squareback tranny is there, but I can take the whole engine and tranny setup out of the Ghia is necessary.

My question is, will this be a simple bolt on procedure? will it all fit in there? what issues should i be aware of, or parts/kits i will need?

Thanks a bunch! please send me an email for a response if possible: [email protected]
