Swapping 991.1 c2s into 991.1 c2: is the DME the only thing that is needed to changed

Hey gang!
I have a 991.1 and wondering if anyone has successfully swapped a larger displacement 991.1 S engine?
Would the only change, aside from the motor swap be the DME? I would assume the vin would also need to be re-coded on the DME.
I've tried searching for an answer and no luck.

I would reach out to BGB, they do motor swaps all the time, they would know this.

If you have outgrown the performance of the 991.1 Base, consider a 991.2 Base. Now if you want to get more HP, all you will need to do is swap out the turbos with ones from the 991.2 GTS, apply the requisite 991.2 Factory tune and you'll be in business, or, do an aftermarket tune for even more HP and Tq.

You guys are assuming he is replacing the motor by choice. Maybe he had an engine failure and came across a 3.8 for a good value?

Appreciate everyone chiming in. It's a long story but I have a front end collision 991.1s. I also have a running 991.1 non-s. Long story on how I have a crashed 991.1s but I do. Now I'm just trying to explore the idea of swapping the motor before doing it.
There's a unique project I am working on that would be very helpful if I can get the 991.1s drivetrain running before in the crashed car before attempting to swap it into a 993 but I'm having problems so I am thinking about putting the 991.1s in my running 991, then pull that drivetrain out into the 993.
