Exact Distance between stock intake manifold and rear of the carb on a 429 SCJ

[ponypastor]

For a correctly made kick-down rod, I need to know the exact distance between the rear edge of the stock intake manifold and the base of the back of the carb on a 1971 429 SCJ motor. My SCJ motor has an aluminum high-rise unit rather than the cast iron unit from the factory.

I need to know if it is the same distance as the stock set-up, or slightly longer. Thank you to anyone who can provide the distance or the difference.
