If it was not so top heavy, it would probably make a great WRC car.

An aquaintence of mine (back in the late 70's) worked at the local Porsche dealer.
Got a great deal on a wrecked 911.
Put the engine in his VW Bus.
Only lasted in that configuration for about 1 1/2 months before pulling it back out.

Too many tickets for "Exhibition of Speed".....pulling wheelies....

Ahhhh,,,,, the good ol days.

Back in the early 1970's a college buddy made quite a few $$$ with a VW Karmann Ghia coupe running a flat six and tranny out of a wrecked 911S.
