Default How much for a 4.2TT RS6 crate engine ?

Don I. Says it will come close to fitting. With about equal work of the Silver Bullet it should fit. How to get the ECU to run it is a different story. Thoughts ?

Stand-alone management will work.

Doubt it - that V8 (sans turbos) weighs in at exactly the same as a 2.7T.

Default ~400-500 lbs IIRC

I would say a lot of that is the A6 body, not the engine. 4.2V8 in new B6 S4 weighs the same as our 2.7TT AFAIK

Yea, every article about the new S4 says that v8 weighs no more than our engine.
