    3.8 V-6 from a Supercharged T-Bird supercoupe or a V-6 Turbo Buick would be an option .

    Both of those engines are 90 degree V-6's and would be wider than the small block Ford. The T-Bird V-6 is actually the back 3/4 of a 351 sbf.
    A possibility might be the 60 degree 4 litre Ford V-6 used in the Explorer which is quite narrow. It can be stroked to 4.5 litres if desired. It will attach to either the Ford AOD automatic transmission or a 5 speed.
    I'm not sure of the dimensions but I could get them if anyone is interested.
