2.8 A4 conversion to S4

I was wondering if it is possible. I have a 2000 A4 2.8 Quattro and I want to know if it is possible to convert to S4, change the engine and everything.

Thanks in advance.

Yep but it will cost a lot and the S4's are getting quite cheap.

Hmmm, around how much are we talking about here?

I could not nail down a figure as the only way you do this project is to buy a crashed S4 as you will need the running gear loom front slam pannel supension and clocks from a face lift car as I think that what you have and the old looms are different from the new S4's.

So the cost of the car is the thing and trying to buy bits here and there is not the way to undertake this project as it will cost you a arm and a leg, you need a whole car or forget it as it will be cheaper to by a S4 as an old one will cost you around £6k upwards for a tidy one.

Yeah the thing is, I want a good maintained car on low mileage.

For a 2001 S4 (I'm looking at them right now) it will be around $10k for 100k miles. I bought my 2000 A4 2.8 for $10k on 49k miles.

The cars are very much alike.

So I was thinking I'll buy the engine, the tranny and the other required components and it will cost me around $10k.

But yeah I guess I'll just save up some cash and buy a decent one because you know hella a lot more than I do. Although I love the S4 B5, I'm just in love with that car.
