Struggling a bit, ain't it?
I would guess that is a 250cc engine. Maybe get a liter bike engine and really wake up that VW.
There used to be a "Bond Minicar" in England many years ago that was powered by a 250 two stroke engine mounted on a pillar under the bonnet that could swing 180 dergees, that also carried the drive wheel (three wheeler) at the front. So to get out(or into) a tight parking spot the front could turn at 90 degrees to the centre line of the car. being a two stroke to get reverse you stopped the engine changed the forward ignition system to the rearward ignition system, and the engine ran backwards, (with 4 gears in reverse)
My father had one,......horrid thing!
A how to for the more skilled than me https://motoiq.com/Honda-S1000-How-T...gine-in-a-Car/
In the early 1970's Honda produced two sports (Fun) cars based on their 360cc and 600cc motorbike engines. (I think they had one based on their 750cc engine as well)
Found a brochure for it, but I seem to recall it looked way cooler at the time.

Thanks, I think you are spot on. I had a friend who had the coupe version.
Kind regards,
