Motor swap

[Grant]

I'd say not.  While I've never measured, I do knwo that the guys at 
audi needed to re-do the 4.2 engine with a timing chain rather than 
belt to make it shorter so it would fit in the '04 S4. So the question 
is "is the 90s engine bay longer than the 2004 A4'S?".  I would doubt 
it, and therefore I'd say this will be hard.  But again, I don't 
actually know anything here.

I would approch this very carefully.  Yea, the motor should mate to the 
tranny.  Yera, with convincing the electronics should interface. But 
the mechanical fitment may be hugely difficult.
