911 -> Ghia

Hi, I would like to contact people who know about or who have experience with porsche 911 engine/suspension installation into a karmann ghia. I am thinking of an older or detuned model, not to the extreme of the Bader car. I'm asking here because I am hoping to find people more receptive to such ideas.
Things I know so far - the engine and 915 gearbox can fit under the body, the track and wheelbase are in the right ballpark.

Things I also know - it's expensive, there are more efficient ways to get lots of power, why cut up a ghia, just because it's aircooled doesn't mean it resembles a bug engine, the engine is relatively expensive to maintain, handling problems caused by putting two more big heavy cylinders out behind the rear wheels, the fabrication is complicated. So, I don't need to hear that again :-) It's not about maximum power or ease, it's about doing something cool (at least, to my taste). I've got the money, time, and can do the fabrication work.

Anyone know what a rear clip from a written off 993 goes for? Probably out of my range.

Thanks, if you can provide me with any pointers, experiences, contacts, I'd really appreciate it.
