Err it would fit (I'd think you'd have to cut some bulkhead away though as the V6 is huge alo mount most of the bits in the bot) like most thing but the effort is massive don't bother the V6 isn't amazing realy. 255hp from the phase 2 engine but it weight a lot so stick it at the front and you'll suffer understear.

Making it RWD like a normal V6 is a better and easier idea so long as you've got the skill to make the mounts or have a craahsed v6 to use for the subframe chassic. But IMO its a daft ineconomical idea. 172 engine much easier.
