If it's going to be air-cooled VW power,some concessions to drag reduction may have to be made to keep that puppy alive.The Porsche 914 tapped the separated flow behind the rear windscreen to create a vortex and slammed flow into the engine bay,ala: bug/Ghia/etc..You will have to be especially careful not to impede airflow to cylinder,heads, and oil-cooler or it'd thumbs-up at the side of the road and a call for a tow-truck.Be careful! It's a beautiful car.
