I'd consider rebuilding the Superbeetle's engine myself, if it was out of the car. Last time I tried to jack it up myself I broke a Type III jack.
Sometimes I lurk about engine swaps for a Beetle, with a conservative profile in mind. Well, maybe a tiny Suzuki engine out of a Metro could be quite interesting as it's a featherweight, causing fewer stress to engine mounting points at the transmission case than Volkswagen's own EA827 which is still the most popular engine for swaps into classic Volkswagens here.
