clay said measure it 
hmm ill just measure it and place my order in the morning, dang this is painful. Good news, hopefully have my motor paid for and delivery planned tonight, full order from clay, ordered my engine stand (2000 pounder from northern tool, once i ordered they decided to add it was on back order, think a 1500 capacity would hold up?
Now all thats left to do is get the good 7.3 down here (pulling it up with one of the farm trucks and trailers on nov12th) get mine up there and pull the motor.....easy day huh? I hope god is on my side on this one guys, ill have about 25 days to do the swap (did a 6.0 out rebuilt back in and running in a weekend so im confident 25 days is enough haha), and get some minor details worked out with jim @ rosewood!
Oh and the motor is going to be IH red with black IC pipes and red boots! Really wanted to do orange but CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME find any old IH orange high temp paint to do the block with (wink wink)

You are best off to measure. I know I didn't when I first ordered them years ago and one was the wrong size. From what I remember Clay said the Riffraff doesn't make universal ones like other companies, but make them for the application so you are sure you are getting a quality part.
