hi,
no as the inlet manifold are different plus you can not just change heads as piston are different. the cheaper way is to find a v5/v6 long engine and put that in. just remember to change crank/metal cam sprockets or it will not start.

hi,yes you can use an ej20 classic bottom end keep your heads and manifold on it use 1.6mm gaskets and swap the mounting plate for the cambelt tensioner to the new one if you prefer that type and bolt it up using 4 bolts as a classic and not 8 as on your bug then a small modification drilllin out the starter motor on the 754 gearbox to mate up with the earlier engine mounting points and ure good to go.
