I have a Buick 231 v6 with an SM465 tranny in mine. I know, it's GM, but it fits perfect, uses the original radiator and doesn't have so much power you'll be breaking the stock drivetrain. If you are re-powering it to make it more streetable, I would certainly get rid of the stock tranny. With the divorced xfer case, you can put in a engine tranny combo without any adaptors (but will require tranny to xfer driveshaft mod). I would think any newer straight six would be hard to fit, the stock six's are really short.
