I'm not aware of any differences but........?
Here's what thesubfloor says about swapping into an '07 A6:

Call Pfadt Racing, order their "offset differential mounts" and voila, it becomes a straight bolt-in without any needed changes to the transmission.
Since the Z06 comes with integrated cooler lines you'll have two choices regarding those - either leave most of them intact and install a loopback hose (on the little supplemental cooler on the left side of it) or you can plug the lines and install a replacement cover (from Zip Corvettes, I believe) to remove the cooler entirely.

Well I may have been talked out of it. Suggested was keep the 2.56 and go with a Yank 3200 only. Perfect set up for a DD with a future of being SC.
Also does anyone know of a spline difference 28 vs 30 between the A6 tranny and the Z06 diff?
