Yes - but if you want an IC big enough to support high HP and high boost (high boost = more heat, more heat = the need for a bigger IC...) then you're going to need to get out the Sawzall.
You could also run an air:water IC. The ambient air to coolant heat exchangers (which feed coolant to the charge air cooler) are usually quite slim compared to an air:air intercooler. Drag racers love air:water IC's since you can feed them icy cold water which allows for cooler than ambient temp charge air temps.
Pulled the trigger on one of these:

I will be running the Mercedes 722.608 5-speed. Cutting the car to fit the 4L80E just didn't sit well with me, even if the car is far from perfect. In addition to that, I'd still need at least a $500 TCM to control the 4L80E in addition to a $700+ adapter plate.
The only supporting dealer for the Merc/Chrysler 722.6 is Russell Drake out near Seattle. I spoke to him on the phone last night and he really knows his stuff with both the Merc's and the 722.6. Sounds like quite a few of these PCS TCM's have been sent to Finland and other parts in Europe...even to a few of the more famous Finn's who enjoy our beloved OM606.
Lots of parts arriving this week and next!
