Default Sportster 883 to 1200 conversion

I’m new to the forum here. I have an opportunity to buy a 2007 1200 sportster motor and I’m wonder if the top end would work on my 2002 883 motor? Can anyone with good mechanical knowledge help me?

Instead of buying a 1200 motor, convert your 883 into a 1250
