Impossible swap?

Once again I've got a ridiculous question for you guys. Has anyone attempted to swap a 7m-gte into an old Triumph TR7? Or done the math to see if it's possible?

I know the TR7 engine bay can handle a v8, but I'm pretty sure the straight 6 is a little longer.

(I keep getting various cars and parts and would love to know what I can mix and match :P )

Anything is possible with enough skill or money, but you do know the 7M weighs almost as much as a sb v8 right? Plus it's longer and taller meaning it's going to screw up the weight balance more. I've read some of your other posts and the rotory was brought up, why not use that. It'll have a lower CG, a lower weight, a better weight balance, and unless you want 600hp it'll put out what you need. By the way check out my site for some sneak peeks at my 13BT powered all custom midget http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=16&groupid=143857&ck=
