I presume you mean engines?
If so the popular choices seem to Ford Crossflow, Ford Pinto and i think Ford Zetec and Toyota 4 age, but get confirmation as i am building a Tiger
not a book chassis.

My CVH will fit too after i've mutilated it with a hacksaw and adopted an attack position with my trusty fixing hammer.

K-Series fits in my ST, so I think it should fit in a book chassis... the only thing is, it sticks out the top a way

If you are meaning other than engines, ie. complete donor cars, then the old ford escorts (mk 1 or 2) and cortinas (mk 3, 4 or 5) are the only ones
that fit straight into a book chassis, though there may be one or two other cars that would with a little effort.
The most populare donor of recent times is probalby the ford sierra, but that like many other potential donors require either a live rear axle sourced
from else where or need a different rear end setup to use donor components.
