Alternative Engine for Solstice

Just curious:

Has anyone considered - or have any GM reps mentioned optional engine choices for the Solstice tath would fit in the engine bay? The four banger is convenient and has relatively good mileage, and 170 HP is great for a four - but since Mallett is considering dropping a 400 HP small block V-8 in their hot rod versions, I assume there is room in the engine bay for other engines.

I checked GM crate motors on-line and found the good old 3.8 supercharged motor with 260 HP and 280 ft. lb. for about $4500 with all the extras.

Does anyone know if this motor would fit?

That level of power seems just about right for the Solstice...
