Even if you find one that fits, you will most likely have to do new wiring and install a new breaker box
Finding one that fits in the existing space would save you about 30% of the work on the job
Running the electrical to the garage is a beating

We're only talking about .0625" per side too tight correct? OK now get a belt sander and grind off a .09375" (+.250" /-0) taper on the front edge of the offending cabinets so you'll have a little clearance at the front.
Next you're going to need some 2x4's to build yourself a tapered chute that will guide the stove into the hole. Get you some of that PAM cooking spray and spray down the whole sides front to back of the cabinets where the stove will go and also the sides of the stove.. You and all the kids and the stove get on the opposite side of the kitchen and shove that stove with a good running start into that hole. She'll go at least part way in. Take the 2 x 4 chute apart and use some of the boards and a sledge hammer to gently tap the stove on back into place.
Wait, what about the electric cord? Not to worry. Have that plug tied up on top to where you can get to it. Go down to the camper supply place and get one of those big honking 50 amp RV extension cords. You might have to cut the plugs off and just wire it up with wire nuts and electrical tape but that's OK. Run that cord back to the breaker box, cut the plug off and wire it into your new 50 amp breaker you'll put in.
Problem solved. Wife will be so happy to have her new stove running she won't hardly even complain much about the extension cord running across the kitchen. If you're skilful with duct tape you can secure it nice and straight under the upper cabinets where it will be mostly out of sight. Trust me, this will work.

Hey Hop, how the heck are you!?? We might be cousins for all I know but I will say great minds think alike. I personally am a fan of JB weld also. i'm sure he already knows about gorilla tape but that's overkill for this job.

Recently purchased a cooktop and the specs said it was about 0.1 inch larger than the cut out, but it slipped right in without a problem. Yours may work.

Th RV extension cord is a great idea! Thanks!

I think WD-40 outta do it, buy a couple of the economy size cans and use one for each side and dont forget to spray the floor too! Should slide in nice and easy, no cutting or sanding required.

Good luck Mud. My wife wanted a new oven just before Thanksgiving. Ended up: Bosch oven $2,500 (had to move outlet) Bosch microwave $900 (has to add outlet) Bosch dishwasher $1,200 New cabinets around oven $250 New tile backsplash (entire kitchen) $250
I did it all in 3 days and 13 Home Depot trips. Now put on your big girl pants and git r dun!
LET’S GO BRANDON!!!
