Let me do a little research, I just saw a thread about a week ago on lowering blocks on the cheap, let me see if I can dig it up for you...

7" long block.
2" wide.

7/8" holes on 4.25" centers.

I could measure mine in a couple of days, but I can tell you right now that it's pretty much the width of the trailing arm mount point, the same center to center pattern of the u bolt, and for length I'd make it to the end of the trailing arm, and then the same distance on the other side (front) of the block. Then the thickness is generally 2" or whatever you want it to be.
