Motor swap

[Denis]

I talked about the 4.3 rubber timing belt in the front not the new S4 V8 engine.
I tlaked about a 96 A4, its shorter than the 04 , i m pretty sure.

Engine area of the B4 is longer than the A4 96. That i m sure.

  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.
