Can you fit a 2l VW camper engine in a beetle
As above, I have three beetles available for spares and two campers.
Im wanting to fit the 2l in the beetle, but the look slightly different. Well as far as the cooling systems go.
Any help would be great.

Ive had a look, it seems you need a 911 cooling fan and shroud to do it though. Im not sure if anything else has to be done though.

Just go the whole hog and put a scooby engine in! There was some guy who did it with his 356 replica. Sounds rather mental
Found the web site http://www.ricola.co.uk/speedindex.htm
meant to do 0-60 in 4 seconds!

In answer to the original question a type 4 motor (for that is what it undoubtedly is) will bolt into a beetle, but you will need a Porsche style fan & alternator. Big Boys Toys, Volkspares, or any of the majors wil supply you with the bits needed. The best advice is to invest in a copy of Volksworld magazine & take it form there
