Craziest V8 Beetle swaps......

Ran into one today,at work.Project ,in progress. 68,69(?), The rear tires ,were near level camber wise.Front's way negative. Dropped off some parts,noticed a ton of louvers,in the storage compartment panel.Already thinking water cooled.Expecting Pinto 2300/Capri 2.8. Walk up,see an old school Olds 455. Didn't see the rearend,but the strut perches,welded solidly to the axle tubes. Have any stories to share?(lol).
