No, you wouldn't.

We have a customer that did exactly that: Put a Mezger engine out of a wrecked turbo car into a 986. Let me begin by telling you the guy who did the swap owns an automotive fabrication business with all the welding, CNC, milling, and other type equipment you could imagine, so he could make literally anything he needed; and he completed a beautiful installation, which had some shortcomings:
  1. When completed, it had cost as much for him do do the swap as the price of a brand new turbo car sitting on the dealer's showroom floor.
  2. Besides being a total tire destroyer, it could literally smoke the tires from a roll from any speed, making the car difficult to drive much less control.
  3. The car could destroy transmissions and drive assemblies at will.

Be careful what you wish for, the owner of this monster could make anything he needed for the car, but ended up pulling the Mezger out and selling it, and installing the engine that was originally in the car.
