I doubt an inline 6 will fit up there, besides the fact that I don't think there are any front drive trannies for the engine.
Anything is possible with enough money.
Maybe the Atezza turbo 4?

This swap would require a rediculous amount of work. Go pop the hood of an IS or a Gen. IV Supra. That 6 cylinder is way to long to mount transversly in FWD car and finding a tranny to do FWD application would be nearly impossible since that engine was never designed for FWD. RWD... well.. tub the car out and prepare to have part of that engine in the cabin. Good Luck! It would definitely be a project and something interesting to see.

anything can be done with money, but just cause you can doesn't mean you should

And I don't think that final question was necessary, haha.
