they have got some specs on the engine.
just type in "barra 240t" into a search engine.
in the latest "Zoom" magazine they compare a stock xr6 turbo and a LS1 chev v8 with an exhaust system on a chassis dyno.
both engines peak at around 184, but the xr6 has fatter pawer everywhere else in the rev range. By removing the xr6's airbox they got 204 rear wheel kilowatts
HSV.......I dont want one!

They are close to the Aussie 250 which Jack placed in his Mustang. There were changes for better engine mounts in the late 1990's, but the pre 2002 SOHC blocks were similar in occupied area. The DOHC has a special stressed alloy sump, similar to the AU sedan from 1997 to 2002, but with a few extra bumps in it. The DOHC isn't compatible with the recirculating ball drag links unless a little clearance room is made.
Biggest issues are fitting the injection manifolds, but even here there are many options. All the main centre spacings are similar to the earlier 1988-2002 engines.
All Falcon engine bays built from 1992 to 1998 (the XG especially, but the rack and pinion steering XH too ) were similar to the 1966 to 1970 Falcons and Mustangs in shape. Ford used the same chassis from the 66 Falcons right up to 1995 in the utility range...leaf springs, recirculating ball steering, coil over upper arm SALS suspension...gosh they were ground breakers

Post '65, you'll have issues of modifying the integral crossmember and fitting a rack conversion. Pre '66 there'll be the clearances XE mentions, plus the need for a custon crossmember and R&P steering. Expect to modify the diagonal upper braces, possibly to bolt-on tubular fabrications. A DOHC turbo will be nearly too tight on a pre '66, perhaps an M-II type kit could ameliorate things.
The other big issue, I understand, is cracking the EEC/Smartlock on the driveline in order to best run it. A Wolf or similar could control a non-VCT motor easily, but that's not your bag, judging from your post.
