And about the dimensions I was looking for more like the measurements of the outside to see how it compares to the hemi. This project would probably be more trouble then its worth, but if anyone is looking for serious power an engine swap or a turbo is the way to go.
I would have to say the most user friendly way would be to find a totaled car (body wise) of a SRT-6, C32 or SLK32, remove the complete engine with ECU + wiring if possible...rework it (heads, cams, etc.) then drop that into the engine bay. For the most part everything should be a plug and play setup.

Only real trouble would be finding such a wrecked car but when I've seen complete E55, SL55 engines on eBay...some S/C 3.2 liter motors should also be floating out there somewhere.
