I doubt if one exists. I've seen a few Beetles with front mounted engines (one was a 350 Chevy), but they were all heavily modified with grafted-on chassis legs.
Why not download McSorley's plans and use them as a basis for a Beetle chassis.





Cheers, Rorty.

I suspect that this would be very difficult to get registered in Australia and before you do any thing you should contact an engineer . But more to the point is why would you do it ? seems like a whole lot of hassle for a limited result to me .
