Go for an M96 engine. Some early cars of the 987 had an M96 engine. It has 3199 ccm.

IF the part numbers on the DME are different? If they are not the same - define all the differences and their significance. Then detail how you will adapt to make compatible.
If the OP is proposing swapping engines complete with DME and all wiring ,that is different but maybe there are still issues ?
All I am saying is do the research first. Engine swaps in modern cars can become fiendishly complicated. And then there is the Smog Test issue. The new DAD machines interrogate for DME configuration+VIN. If there is a mismatch it is automatically flagged,fails and is Referee only. You don't want to go there inadvertently !
Markus is right. Keep looking for the correct engine.
But if the swap works ( & I hope it does) be sure to let us know because we need all the options we can get for swapping in replacement engines.
Good Luck !
