Ah okay ..

Well I think this should do it..just change some of the content for your own!

function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ){

	if(get_post_type($post_id) == 'your specific post type'){ //just for good measure so it doesn't run on unnecessery posttypes
		// vars
		$fields = false;
	 
		// load from post
		if( isset($_POST['fields']) ){
			$fields = $_POST['fields'];
			$new_content = '';
			
			//add all of your content to $new_content
			$new_content .= 'blah'. $fields['fieldname']['value'] . 'blah'; //not sure if Im getting the fieldvalues correctly
			
			// Update post
			$my_post = array(
			'ID'           => $post_id,
			'post_content' => $new_content
			);
			// Update the post into the database
			wp_update_post( $my_post );
		}
	}
}
 
// run after ACF saves the $_POST['fields'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);

EDIT: I think this might result in an infinite loop.. if so try this instead:

function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ){

	if(get_post_type($post_id) == 'your specific post type'){ //just for good measure so it doesn't run on unnecessery posttypes
		// vars
		$fields = false;
	 
		// load from post
		if( isset($_POST['fields']) ){
			$fields = $_POST['fields'];
			$new_content = '';
			
			//add all of your content to $new_content
			$new_content .= 'blah'. $fields['fieldname']['value'] . 'blah'; //not sure if Im getting the fieldvalues correctly
			
			// Update post
			$my_post = array(
			'ID'           => $post_id,
			'post_content' => $new_content
			);
			// Update the post into the database
			remove_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
			wp_update_post( $my_post );
			add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
		}
	}
}
 
// run after ACF saves the $_POST['fields'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
