Default Ls6 a4 ??

I have a 2003 coupe with an A4. Thinking about a new engine. I was wondering if anyone knows if the LS6 crate motor can be mated to the A4.

I m thinking LS6 because it has the same crank "thingamajig" that allows the stock wiring harness to be used. An LS2 or 3 would require a crank mod or a different Harness, etc .

Has anyone done this?

Any aftermarket LS2 or LS3 with the correct reluctor wheel will work (24 vs 50 something). It would be better to go after-market and get a forged motor.
