The generic answer is no, swapping an engine to anything other than what
came in the car from the factory is not stock legal. (that would be an
SP thing... if the new engine hasn't been "built")  However, I think it
could be done legally for stock class *IF* the 2.2 and the 2.7 car
shared the exact same shell and *IF* the 2.2 car were converted in every
detail to the 2.7 specs.  Then you could call it a 19xx 911 and not a
1970 911.  I stress that the conversion would have to be complete and
flawless... and might still be subject to protest without proper
documentation. (or even with, I'm just not sure)
