Will a LSx fit into a Rx-3 or R100 engine bay?

I've been pondering this swap and if it will fit, then I'm going to buy one of those two models. This swap wouldn't be about purposely bastardizing anything, but I think a LSx/turbo 350 combination would be very effective in such a light car.

There would be many much better choices for this swap, such as a 1st or 2nd gen rx7, a 240Z, miata and many others, which are fundamentally better cars, easier to find and cheaper .

The old rx's are not in any way special except for the engine they carried.
