Welcome to the FFO!

I do not have the dimensions. And if you you can measure it.
I think the question might be what else will fit.
Taurus/Sable had a 2.5l in the late 1980s, that should fit as it is the same block.

Since that engine is over head valve and NOT over head cam their are not many other choices. Not sure how much modifications you want to do. Because space and wiggle room are not plentiful. Nothing else is drop in or will fit without significant modifications.

Pretty sure that isn;t what you want to hear.

In 1992, The 3.0 V-6 was an option, but I've never seen one in the wild.
I had a '91 with the 2.3L & 5-speed manual and wish that I had never gotten rid of it.
It's the only vehicle I've ever owned that could get over 40 mpg on the highway and over 30 mpg around town (when I kept my foot tamed down).
