It would be physically impossible, with matching stroke capabilities, to make a DOHC the same compact size as the LS/LT family of engines. As Ford has found out. That's why the 5.8 DOES NOT FIT the S550 engine bay.
How much wider is the GT 500 5.8 then the LSA/LS9? Considerable.

I do know that the DOHC LT-5 is the same with as a LSA and a lot shorter in length and height.
The PS reservoir sticks out more then the heads. No bluepints available but its 26" wide and 26-27" in height and length.
