AVK 3.0 Engine Swap

AVK 3.0 Engine Swap
Does anyone know if an Audi 3.0 (AVK code) engine from an A6 (c5) with a CVT, will bolt into an A6 Avant (also a C5 and also had the same AVK 3.0 liter)? My situation is that I have a 2002 A6 that's been sitting in my driveway for the past 6 years with 70k on it and bad cvt trans. I've recently come across a really nice Quattro A6 Avant whose owner broke his timing belt at freeway speeds. I'd like to swap my relatively low mileage engine into the Avant and have a sound running car. I apologize if this has been covered before, but I understand there is a potential issue with motors out of cvt vehicles, due to the size of the crankshaft end. The Avant has an FEJ code automatic Quattro trans. Just trying not to end up with two non- running Audis in my driveway. Thanks

Compare the Transmission Code with yours. If they are the same, you should be good to go with a swap. The Transmission Code should be listed with the engine code on the build sticker in the owners manual and the one located in the spare tire well. It should be located next to the AVK code.
