I'm trying to figure if this is possible seeing that the cobra (gt500) of that year has greater displacement that the 5.0 Cummingse

Internal displacement doesn't mean a thing. A 4.6L V8 in a 1996 Mustang GT has larger external dimensions than the 5.0L V8 from the 1995 model (The 4.6 was nearly as big as a 460cid/7.5L V8 in the F250 from the same year externally).

That 5.0L Cummins is a big son of a gun. Easily as big or bigger than the 5.4L in an S197 GT500.

Diesel engines are going to be bigger than you're expecting if you're simply looking at displacement. The 3.0L Ecodiesel in the Ram 1500 is about the same size as the 5.7L Hemi in the same truck. The 5.9L Cummins I6 is nearly twice as heavy, much longer, and nearly as wide as it's old 5.9L Dodge V8 counterpart, and a 6.0L Ford Powerstroke is a massive sucker for such a small displacement. You're not taking into account the thicker block castings, the more robust materials, the sheer weight of diesel components, and the extra components (such as the lift pump and turbo) that aren't there on most gasoline engines.
