Room wise, should be ok. My only worry is wiring/tuning...

If ran a NA 3800 probably be ok, but the AWD setup is weak sauce.

Had a Buick Rendezvous, same car. Engine has head gasket and intake manifold gasket issues. Rear drive unit is problematic. Needs regular fluid flushes with expensive GM fluid. Eats wheel bearings like no other. Likes to break rear springs. Rear knuckle bushings wear out quick.

Not mention body cancer in the rear wheel well. Overall though it's been a pretty reliable car. We've had our Aztek since 2002. Its got about 155K on it now. My daughter "loves" driving it.

At one point I did want to throw a 3800 SC in there. I was going to take out the AWD. I was able to hack the DHP PowrTuner software to be able to read/write to the PCM so switching to a FWD bin would have worked.
