It's as easy as could be.
Go to the catalog page for the engine in question on fordracing.com (example). There's a chat button on the page. Click that, and type "can you provide a dimensioned drawing so I can make sure it fits?". They'll send one to you in an email.
Thank you! New wall art for the shop.
Finally got to drive it further than from the house to the gas station to the car wrap/paint protection film place.
Took it down to Monterey for the Rolex Motorsports Reunion, but went the scenic route (down 395 along the Eastern edge of the Sierra, through Yosemite and then across the Central Valley). Also took it down PCH to Big Sur for a sandwich...
So far, I really like it. More torque and more playful than an NA, but otherwise feels very similar. Gearbox was a bit notchy at first but is smoothing out nicely now that I've got about 750 miles on the car. Even on the factory alignment it felt good on the PCH when unencumbered by other tourists.
As usual it feels like I'm sitting too high but I am comfortable in the car - the trip down here was in to parts, first day I drove about 6h with another 5h yesterday and to my amazement I can still walk afterwards. Not something I could rely on with the Evo.
Off to the track in a few minutes now - only to spectate, though.
Once I get home and sort through all of them plus the shaky videos.

Saw one yesterday. Somehow it looks a lot bigger in person than the numbers would suggest. Still awesome.
Yeah, I noticed that when I parked right next to an NA at Laguna Seca. It's a lot taller than an NA/NB and that makes it look bigger.
