zf s542 length

Do any of you know how long the zf s542 with the 4x4 tail housing is? I'm putting together some fitment numbers on a M-c6 swap to a 351W zf and can't find info on how long that bugger is. I'm sure it came in some of your trucks.

Thanks guys I'll look forward to hearing from you. A guy responded to one of my other posted requests and said the small block with tail to 4x4 was 29 5/8" sure hope so, that means the swap will be 7/8" - longer than original set up.
