SVX engine swap for a legacy gt ??

hi,
i was wondering if anyone has any knowledge if it will be possible to do a 6cyl. engine swap for a legacy 5 speed manual transmission. Would a SVX engine fit under the hood??
thanks a lot

What year of LGT? It'll bolt up to the transmission just fine, but fitting into the car may take a bit of shoe-horning.
