Someone on 914 World would probably know as well. That's the most active 914 forum I've found.

You can make an aircooled flat 6 fit, but you have to cut the engine bay sheetmetal to do it. Since all Porsche aircooled flat 6 engines are roughly the same external size, you can use almost any 911 engine, not just a 914/6 engine.

Yes a Porsche six will fit. Google Bader Racing Ghia and you can see a 3.8L air cooled engine and transmission in a Ghia. Quite a few people are putting Subaru 4s and 6s into Ghia also. I got bored and am presently putting an STi engine with a GT3 transmission in my 79 Super Beetle. Do what makes you happy...

I'm having twisted thoughts as I look at my FRS in the garage now...
