I was thinking of modifying a Karman Ghia with a flat-6, upgraded brakes, etc...and then I thought...what if you put the body sheel of a Ghia over the 911...
As is blowing off people "normally" isn't enough, I would love this form of stealth...

Not sure what you want to accomplish here. The 911 SC is not that fast a car. Subarus, Hondas and Mitsubishis will be slapping you upside the head all day long even after you've spent enormous amounts of money and labor.
I can tell you that a Chevy 350 will fit in a 911. Since you're going to ruin a 911 anyway, might as well install some serious HP with a lot less hassle.
Of course it will be a death trap but that's part of the fun :)

The Porsche has unibody construction, so there is not a body from one or the other to remove and/or refit (and I beleive the VW does as well). Some of the body panels might be able to be relocated, but they would likely require quite a bit of work and some custom fabrication in order to fit - though a 914 or a Beck Spyder would probably make for a better starting point (though the Beck would probably be easier all around, it's more expensive and from my experience, not a great chasis for adding even the power it comes with; the Ghia chasis would likely suffer similar problems if the engine from the 911SC were transplanted).
There coould be options working with a tubeframe race chasis, but this would wind up being quite costly.

Its a hard swap.
that being said, there is a company that made a 993 turbo drivetrain fit into a ghia, and another that put it onto a VW bus (theres a nurburgring vid out there of it, its silly fast!).
the easiest way would be to take out and heavily modify the drivetrain and put it into the ghia's frame/body. A roll cage wouldnt be a bad idea in this case due to a chassis not fit for too too much power/braking. Make sure to allow for proper cooling and such.
its possible, but its a seriously difficult task.

Man, I think the Ghia only fits on the 914 or 916 chassis. If you want some real stealth, rip the engine out of the 911 and drop it in a VW Bus!

Yeah I had one! sixty six ghia 1500cc replaced into in lotus white (off white) I positioned it on polished porsche gasoline burner alloys (an non-obligatory improve on sixty six' 911 porker!) Dropped it down geared up discs on the front and got rid of the rusty bumpers for t-bars. It had a good warm rod seem. back interior the 50's while they first got here out (low gentle ghia) they have been fairly high priced and the place vw's attempt for a activities coupe. you're suited, a brilliant looking vehicle. mine replaced into in super nick and the 1500 engine replaced into perfect whether below powered. needed to alter the engine etc. yet had to sell reason I moved out of the country!! have you ever seen the type 34 razor side ghia? distinctive kettle of fish! Bit like marmite, like it or hate it. they might desire to hold out a sparkling version, yet nonetheless they released the recent shape beetle and that's rubbish. suited to bypass away issues how they are each and every from time to time!!!!
