To install a 911 engine requires cutting out the 912 mounts and welding in the 911 engine mounts. Returnable? Yes. Easily returned? Not really.

Also, one needs to deal with the clutch/flywheel issues of mating a 3.0l engine to the 901 gearbox. And then strength of the gearbox also becomes an issue.
