Can an engine generally be placed in any vehicle as long as the harness and computer stays with the engine?

I am planning on putting an L61 Ecotec in a classic vw beetle. I have figured out tranny conversion, cooling, and mounting issues. My question: If I were to keep ECU, harness, and engine together would I be able to run it in my beetle? How tough will this be. Please serious answers from people who know what they are talking about. Thanks

Technically, yes. Realistically, maybe.

If you can get it in there and properly mounted there is no reason why it should not work. Sounds like an interesting project.
