[s-cars] 2004 S4 Avant V8 -- Report on Test Drive

[Scott Justusson]

Theoretically....  I do know firsthand that one could take a 6MT 2005 allroad with a blown v6tt and swap an OLDER 2003 v8 Audi Engine into it, and it would be perfectly legal and easily pass an EPA Certified engine swap.  Hence the claim that the older engine year can't go into a newer chassis is technically not correct.  When presented for inspection, the paperwork trace from the 2003 v8 engine was clearly marked, and the swap was given all the proper EPA blessings.

One could also take a 1992 AAH motor and swap it into an 1995 urScar and get the same blessing....

But to Chris's point this is where the 07K would not fail; theoretically of 
course.

done engine swaps in a state where Chassis vs Engine year is tested newer is 
enforced.  Which makes EXACTLY the point that the B6 Chassis being newer means 
the AAN won't work.
