everything should bolt up just peachy. the only stink is swappin all that wiring cause you have to use ALL of it from the S4 but since the S5 is already stirpped down then have at it
Good luck and have fun

except the S5 has *nothing* inside of it...
again, he's talking about an entire swap..
basically taking the sheetmetal of an S5 and building an S4 out of it...
sounds like a pain, but it'll work...

yah so even all the way back to the tails?
Dang ok so none of the wiring from an s5 will plug with an s4?
Has anyone else tried this before?
and will a s5 intake manifold bolt up to a s4 motor properly???

And BTW, I commend performing the swap. I mean, if you have a good chassis, the why pay for body work? Way to go.
Good luck, have fun
