This is funny that someone would bring up this topic.  Somewhere in my real house (i.e. my parent's house that I grew up in), I have an issue of CAR magazine (the British monthly) where they did exactly this - they put a 911 engine in a Vanagon.  I was just telling my friends about this since I've been showing them my "new" bus.  The magazine was dated somewhere in the early 80's, I'm sure - I think the Vanagon was relatively new when this article came out.  Next time I'm in Pittsburgh, I will see if I still have the magazine.  To this day, I rememeber them saying that there was nothing better than the look on someone's face who was driving a BMW 5-series when they passed them on the Autobahn at 120+ mph in a bus!  : )
