I seem to recall this has been done. Transmission swaps are never easy
but IIRC this is easier than most as the size and shape is very similar. 
The G50 is solid, but the G50/50 (out of the 911 turbo) is indestructible 
(400+ hp). Plenty of gear ratios available for either.

FWIW, I always say "shorter" and "taller" gears to prevent the confusion 
between mathematics-lower and automotive-lower ratios.
