Hi Mathias,
good luck with your operation. The project looks good. Had one car in the past that was a similiar style. Do also use the wings from Kerscher. They are of high quality. My current car is with 2 cm wider wings in the back and steel wings in the front which were pulled a little. Itīs with 17 inch wheels from the Boxter and has a 914 5-speed in. The engine I have chosen in this case is the watercooled Subaru 2.2. For me and my wife it is a car that is used every day and so it was clear not to use a type 4 or type 1. The engine had 215.000 kms on the back when it was installed into the Beetle. We opened it and it looked nearly like new. There was nothing to be done on it at all. If somebody likes a watercooled Beetle, then this engine is a good alternative. Attached one little photo of the car. There was a report in VW Speed about it, which I have as a PDF. But unfortunatelly itīs too big for here. Hope ypou enjoy it.
Good luck!
Martin Bott
