Does anybody know how hard it would be to fit a 2 liter motor into a GT2? I've been looking for a motor for some time and they're all I seem to find.
Thanks

Simple. get the modified flywheel from Kennedy or cip1.com and away you go, this is the best way as they use a 200mm clutch. Add a 1700lb pressure plate and hang on.,[ or machine a 72/73 T4 flywheel to relocate the pilot bearing] Awesome if you make use of the stock fuel injection from a bus. Porsche injection is not bulletproof and very hard to find parts.
Hard part is making the cooling tin to seal the engine to the body.
I have 2 buggies and a Beetle that I have converted to T4. The GT2 has more than enough room to do it. I have a 6cyl Corvair in my GT2.
Keep your your eyes open for a T4 2.0 liter with 3 BOLT intakes. These came out of the 914 and have more HP and Torque than a bus engine. Easier to id the Porsche by looking for the oil filler and dipstick on the top of the engine. Only the 2.0 has 3 bolt intakes. Any more questions I'd be happy to help.

I have a 2 liter type 2 "pancake" engine in my GT. I DON'T THINK it would be a problem with your GT II. I polished the pullyfan and covered the belt and it looks like a turbine. Attachments:

OOPS, I meant type THREE, 3, Tres ect.. A type III, the original pancake. If you meant a type FOUR then I will quote Saturday Night Live... "Nevermind..."
It is a 90.5mm bore and a 78mm stroke. I think that makes it about a 2007 cc engine. I have dual 36mm Delorto Carburetors. It is really fast. But only gets between 20 (at 60) and 15 (at 85) MPG. and the fan looks like a turbine especially when spinning.
I did some tests with an indoor/outdoor thermometer and found that the intake air is only about 4 degrees above ambient with the fan here. When it is the normal doghouse type it ran about 10 degrees over ambient. On both the temp probe was about 1 inch from the center of the fan.
