technically you could (a few people have done the 6 speed S4 tranny swap into other A4 models) but finding an S4/A6 2.7T motor, doing all the wiring, motor mounts, etc. would probably offset the cost of just buying a used S4.
S4 motors do respond very well to mods. 50 horsepower is just a 500 dollar chip away. many people modify their S4 motors to the likeness of the euro-only RS4 and have a solid 380 horsepower car with zero reliability problems. of the 1.8T/2.8/2.7T audi engine trio, the 2.7T/S4 motor is by far the choice for easy big power.
