Logic Board upgrade to M1 (I hope, I hope...)

I see that Apple has listed several logic boards w/ the M1 chip in them for the Mac Mini. I have a model A1347 from mid-2011 and wonder if I can purchase an M1 logic board and upgrade? Ideally, I’d like the 661-16785 w/ 8-core M1, 16GB and a 1TB drive with 1gb ethernet. Just don’t know if it is possible. Also don’t see the newly listed logic boards on the ifixit store yet.

Sadly no ;-{

There is enough differences that prohibit a swap out. Besides other that the metal shell, nothing is transferable as you can see here there just isn’t any serviceable RAM or storage as its all soldered down!
