It should. I think it is about the same length as the 4.1 six. Width isn't a problem. Someone on here should have dimensions for the Barra240 or can get a tape measure out.

Phsically fitting it in a XE Falcon shouldn't be a problem, it's working out how to get it running with all the computer gizmos such as drive by wire that BA have.:pinch:

Maybe you could buy a Haltech or similar computer to work the basic engine management stuff and somehow connect a normal throttle cable up to it. I guess anything is possible if you have enough time, money and resources. Another forum member was talking a few weeks ago about putting XR6T motor in a Cortina. Good luck with it if you decide to procede with it, should be a potent weapon in a relatively light car like XE.
