It shouldn't be a problem. That's the advantage of GM's more "old-fashioned" pushrod V8s. Cam-in-block engines take up less room, and can fit into a smaller space than an OHC V-8. The small block V8 is probably no wider than the OHC V6 that will be in the ATS, will be shorter top to bottom than both an OHC V6 and 4, and if a 4-cyl will fit length-wise, so will a V8.
