driveline/ trans?

Can anyone tell me the length difference between a e4od & a zf5? I did a engine & trans swap in my '90 F-350. I have the correct length front driveline & had to have the rear lengthend. Still has the 1356 until I get my 203/205 doubler. Anyway I sold the e4od & never thought about measuring it. After holding the driveline in there & what I read on here it came out to needing to be 5" longer. Had it "lengthend" & it's still 3" too short.. So I'd like to get the length difference between the two trans, or the length of a stock driveline with a zf5 & a 1356. Thanks.
I did check the junk yards but, they weren't in the truck or bent in half.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, but I just did a ZF swap in place of a E4OD, and my rear shaft only needed to be 2.75 inches longer...

Really? I came up with 5". Since the D/L shop got the measurements mixed up with something else they fixed it the way I wanted & it fits right now.
