There is only one project like that (that I know of), very difficult and expensive. Cost somewhere around $100,000 if I recall correctly.

Here it is: Bader racing and it's $260,000
Karmann Ghia with Porsche 993 Engine | Engine Swap Depot

Jalopnik says the swap costs $260,000 and takes around 18 months.
Details:
Bader Racing

I guess the van engine swap is the economical one to do.
