Default FL to PFL engine swap

I have a PFL and a FL. Id like to convert over my PFL to the FL engine. Doable?

You'd probably have to adapt the 40v engine to the 32v sensors and whatnot to use the 32v ECU as I think it'd be insane to try to swap the FL cluster/ecu/immo setup over.

I'd rather set both cars on fire and work 3rd shift at Dunkin' Donuts to pay for a good runner.

LOL that alternative makes the swap sound intense enough!

My pfl is an A8 while my fl is an A8L. Not a fan of the long base plus it needs a paint job, otherwise everything else is in great shape. the PFL is in good shape with good paint but needs major engine gaskets overhaul so was trying to weight out my options.

A8L was donated to me by a good friend so everything I can swap over to my pfl, I would be willing to do. However you got me reconsidering the engine swap now...

I appreciate the input and perspective!

Well I could be wrong but it sounds like a quagmire to me.

and it may just be... haven't found any other info as of yet.

Is there any other parts that would improve my pfl? aside from the 1pc xenon headlights, fenders, hood and brakes all around.
