If you want to move the rad forward about a foot and have the engine sticking out of the hood then go for it.

what about the new inline six's that GM put
in the Trailblazers and Envoy's. There's a stout
little power plant.

This subject is getting beat to death...

Take a look under your hood (assuming you have one) and tell me where that 4+ inches of extra block length is going to go. Its going to take some work. This is not to mention that the inline 6's I have seen have the valve cover as the high point, way forward of where, say, a TPI plenum would and that makes it even more difficult to fit under the hood. I'm gonna say it wont fit without using a different hood, just from the problems people are having with the stealth ram.
