Check out Jakobud's site..

He has drawn up dims for a lot of the cabinets and if I recall the KI cabinet is the same as the MK one which is on there...

Killer Instinct and MK are VERY similar, but differ slightly at the front below the control panel. KI has a big flat front whereas MK has an angled front. Otherwise, they're both Midway cabinets. A KI twin would be the 2-player NBA Jam.

The following games have all the same dimensions:
KI
KI2
NBA Jam
NFL Blitz
MK series (though the first has that angled front)

Variations on the cab:
Gauntlet Legends/ Dark Legacy
   (modified top and plastic molding added to front)

Otherwise, TMNT and the Simpsons used a very similar (though wider) cabinet.


So to make a long story short, finding plans for any of these machines should fit the bill.
