I read a while back about a guy who took 80's vw bug, pulled the body and the engine out, cut the rear last hal of the frame off and welded on the front end (chasis and engine only) of a '72 cadiliac eldorado. He worked a scoop to go down through the floor to feed the air intake and cool the radiatior. Built a box around the engine, which took up all of the back seat, covered it with carpet. Now think of it You have a Bug that looks stock except for the funny looking speaker box in the back, but when you floor it you have all of the might of a 367 GHP 8.1 liter engine behind you. That is one hell of a power to weight raito. I thought it was nifty.
