I would say it would be about a foot to long. You would be hard pressed to get any straight six in a ZOOK.
Sorry

next question is why would you want to put such a big and heavy emgine into a Zuk. You really don't need that much power with all the gearing options available for a Suzuki. The whole point and beauty to a Suzuki is that they are light and nimble. the minute you start putting big and heavy components liike larger engines and gearboxes you lose that. Go for a 1.6 Vitara engine and some gearing and you will have a much more balanced vehicle that won't be breaking axles etc.
