Rod,

It it's a Porsche flat 6, you will find an upright fan with the blades
staring at you in the face. Unless it was a Carrera 3.2, it will probably
also stick out about the engine lid. I suppose any engine could be
transplanted in there with enough sheet metal surgery. It's even possible
that they installed an Audi (same as the early Porsche 924) 2.0 liter inline
4. If the engine in there is a four cylinder, the guy may be talking about
the Vanagon aircooled engine or the Audi engine.
