Hell Nissan has a V6Turbo that is more powerful than the LS3. Not saying I prefer Forced Induction over NA engines, but I damn sure ain't the average buyer.

Its not about power. Or torque. Or even fuel economy. There are reasons why luxury brands have a tendancy towards higher cylinder counts even with relatively small engines. Engines like 2.5L V6's and 5.0L V10s could easily be replaced with an I4 and V8 respectively and make just as much power with a little more efficiency. But usually they don't do it. More cylinders give smoother power delivery and less vibration.

It'll fit. The chevy small block can fit in damm near anything bigger than a smart car. Its hardly any bigger than the V6 in the SRX. I think its a little lower and a tad wider but maybe an inch in either case. Only issue
might be length. Even then, I bet its less than 6" different.
