fe360 engine bay measurement help needed

HI guys

Quick question: can someone measure the distance between the front of the harmonic balancer and the rad? I am building a run stand and don't have the rad out of storage (nor the rubber lines to/from it) and need to know what the rough distance is between the balancer and rad so hoses aren't too short or kinked because the rad is too close.

My hunch is about 12 inches... anyone able to do a quick measurement for me?

Thx!!

Its because there are many radiator variations and pulley setups- thus various answers.
On my 1975 F250 highboy with stock copper/brass 2.5" thick radiator(not a super cool) and stock pulleys there is 8.75" between the inside face of radiator to the closest face of the damper mounted 2 sheeve pulley..
There is an additional 1.20 inches from the face of the damper pulley into the mounting flange on the balancer.
Hope that helps you out.
