Yes, for lots of money. The 4.2 will also fit depending on what year s4 you are talking about.

Sure, it's been done... you'll need the wiring harness, exhaust parts, the engine (obviously... but I think the trans bolts up...

I have a question.. Lets say you blew your engine.. and you were gonna have it replaced anyways. And you found an S4 engine on Ebay that was running about the same price as a 1.8T engine.. Would you still say it was ALOT of money? I mean i think it would be a waste of money to just do a swap if ur engine is fine. But if you had to do it.. I'd prob try to swap the S4 if my engine blew out.

So.. if you were to blow your engine instead of buying a new engine and doing the swap and keeping your car, you would sell an audi A4 with a blown engine for almost no money.. then try and buy an s4 when you could have just put an S4 engine in the A4?... I think doing the swap would be cheaper then looking at buying an S4.. but thats only if your engine is F'ed

SEE NOW THATS NOT BAD!.... a 99 audi with a blown engine u'd be lucky to get $3,000 for it.. and if ur looking at an S4 you gotta look at almost $20,000 if ur lookin at a nice one. Thats $17,000!! or you could just spend $5,000 get the new engine put in, love your car till ur done with it and sell it for $12,000 as an A4 with an S4 engine! then get ur newer S4 and only have to spend $8k.... thats just how I look at it. But again this is only worth it in my opinion if you have a blown engine

ummmm sorta but no. lol a 99 with no motor is probably gunna go for more than 3 and an S4 is way less than 20k man you can pick them up left and right from 13-15 in the right places.... and that 5-7k quote seems a little low and its gunna take a **** ton of work to make everything right, and in the end you still have an A4 with a S4 motor not an S4, an S4 has different suspension, different body( bumpers, sides ) leather interior.... cuz if you just throw a 2.7t in there without doing all the other stuff its gunna be ****, the suspension will be WAY screwed with the weight differences, not to mention all the other parts our gunna end up buying... its simply not worth it..
