Porsche 356c/912 engine in my 69' bay window

[atufte]

Hi

I have an almost new Porsche 356c/912 engine, that i'm keen to convert to my
69' bay window. I have a Type 1, 1600 DP engine in it now, which is close to "worn out"

Anyone have a list of what mods needed for this conversion?

I have search the net for days, and all I can find is bug's, Ghias and split buses with this
setup, not a single early or any bay window at all for that matter...

All help on this will be wildly appreciated...

Thanks in advance...

All the best

Alex

I'm guessing here but you would need to fab up an engine support bar and swap the tinwear for bus items for a start. Plus bus flywheel and clutch.
Why not flog the 356 engine with added porsche scene tax and get one better suited to a heavy bus

Hi.
Personally, I would consider selling it on to someone with a 356/912, it's worth a far bit, I can build you a stout T2 engine that will be more suitable for the van, if you have any issues with the 912 motor they are horrendously expensive to fix, a good well built 1776 or1904ccengine will give far more power and reliability if the right components are used, stay away from production built ******** motors.
Good luck with your choice.

Can't agree more, sell that and get a striker built
