Default Engine swap from 1.8T to 2.6 and transmission question

Hello, I am new in the audi world. I need some advice.

I have a old audi A4 96 automatic 2.8L that I got from a friend.

Tomorrow I will get a audi A4 quadro manuel 1.8T, the engine is broked.

Can I swap the v6 engine into the other one? Also can I also swap the automatic transmission too, I prefer automatic, my concern is can I swap it easily, my A4 96 is not quatro but the other 97 is quadro, transmission will work?

On the same note, the new car will have a working turbo to sell

Thank you for any advice!

Sylvain

I dont think a automatic transmission will work on the 1.8t which had a manual transmission the crankshafts are diffrent from what i remember i dont really see the point y not just drive the 96 as opposed to swapping everything to a 97.

Thanks, I decided to stay with my 96 so far, I will do something else with the other, I will remove the engine and convert it onto an electric car instead. That will be a fun project.
