Does "numbers matching" matter for a '74 911s?

Does matching numbers matter on a middie? I'm looking at a unmodified run of the mill '74 coupe (not a Carrera) that drives but is well used and needs a full restoration. The car has a 2.7 in it from a different year car. The seller has its original 2.7 available but it needs a rebuild.

I know that it matters in the 356 world but does putting the "original engine" back in the car add significant value to this car? Maybe I should ask, would any of you guys pay a significant premium for a numbers matching '74 911s vs one with the wrong year 2.7 engine all other things being equal?
