Default Engine swap?

Hi everyone,
I own 2.8L quattro, the engine on it is beggining to go. I was considering an engine swap because 2.8L I think is lacking performance compared to other engines (like 2.7T) I have seen A4 with a 4.2L V8 swap, was wondering if there is a lot of fabrication needed to be done for that engine to fit? Alternatively what other engine can I get? (will newer platform engine fit?) please give your advise

What does this mean?

Engine swaps are a huge undertaking. Unless you are very familiar with wiring, fabrication and the emissions laws, stay with the configuration you have.

What does your engine need?
