Put a 2.7 6 into a 72 Bay Window Bus?, Porsche content. Don't judge me! Options

[VaccaRabite]

So, Lets say you had a 2.7L 6 with complete and intact CIS, good compression, taken out of a running car that wanted to go electric.

And lets say you had a Bay Window Westy.

And, for the sake of argument - what do you think it would take to put them together.

I've got the 915 and the engine and a bus that's about 70% through its restoration.

Current plan is to get the bus running on its existing 1.7 first.
Then add the engine to the bus transmission and drive it like that.
And eventually add the 915 into the mix which may or may not require a bunch of changes.

I know that this is a thing that has been done. Anyone done it?

For the first stage - I'd need an oil tank (maybe - may have one), and would need tins. A different flywheel and maybe a different clutch - may be able to take these off the bus. I'll need exhaust. Heat isn't a concern - I'm using a diesel heater for heat so I am not worried about heat exchangers.

I suppose another option might be to put it into a dune buggy... but no. The bus will like it a good bit more.
