What would you do within those parameters?

So, the bolt highlighted part of your wish list clearly means NO watercooled engine swap! Since that always does include a fair amount of modifying something on the engine, your car (mostly) or - usually - both. And I have not come across a company that sells complete Suby or WBX engines, really ready to bolt in into a bug, although they may be coming.
www.bugat5speed.de probably is on their way and Oettinger used to sell a complete conversion 2,1 WBX for the 1303 cabriolet
With that budget and being in the US, it would be very easy to just bring it over to aircooled technology, get a complete ready to bolt in 2,3 ltr Type 4 and be done with it...
Although I like the above advise of the so-called 'ready to bolt-in' Suby 450 Hp engine haha! Yeah, right.
Actually its more of a 'no-brainer' than I thought
