Radiator to firewall is just too short for a 616.
I'm currently trying to stuff one into a short wheelbase 1st generation Montero.

In addition to the oil pan requiring a flip to get it out of the way of the front diff;
its "jam up and jelly tight" between firewall and radiator.

The Zuk wheelbase is a full TWELVE INCHES shorter: 92 vs 80"!

Can't even consider a 617.
