It's a double-bucket of worms if you start out from scratch.
There are a ton of old VW motors flying and most of those have had a kit 
of parts installed to a known recipe.

A guy near me built a 5/8 spitfire with a 215 ci Buick engine.
But he built the engine with parts kit that covered those issues and 
added a toothed reduction belt drive.

   He'd had numerous issues with the engine; ignition, oiling and
   cooling.  He said he'd never fly another airplane with an automobile
   engine.

   Your experience may vary.
