17 minutes is quick, of course, but not that surprising if speed is your goal, and if you have all the tools lined up and ready to go.
When you get right down to it, there is actually very little connecting the engine to the car. 4 mounting bolts are all that holds the engine/trans assembly in. A few electrical connections, some linkage, oil and fuel lines are the only things that need to be disconnected, all of this stuff comes apart pretty quickly. Greg's advice to label everything is of course great advice if you've never done this before, but once you've done it a couple of times, you really don't need to label things. Because you can only forget to connect something, you can't "misconnect" anything, all the connections are vastly different from each other.
Removing and installing an engine from a 911 is actually far easier than most people realize. Very neat and easy.
