Get thee to yon GOOGLE:
http://google.com/


Search for: Subaru engine swap Beetle, or something similar.
Dunno about the exact model you asked, but it's been done.
Even more popular in Vanagons.

Ok this may seem like a stupid question, but since I drive a 99 Subaru as my daily driver and have 2 VW Bugs... If you put a Subaru engine
in a Bug, what about cooling? Do you just put in a radiator or are there Air Cooled Suby engines too?

Not a stupid question. Yes, you have to go to some lengths
to provide cooling for the 'baru radiator. Easier to do
on a Vanagon...

They have an adaptor for the Vanagon...plus adaptors for VW for about 50
different engines.

Yes they were aircooled. 2CVs always look good.
