Anyone got a standard shift FE sitting on the floor?

I am looking to modify my engine stand for more room for the flywheel.

Hoping someone can measure from the back of the block to the clutch surface of the flywheel while assembled.

Currently my engine stand will fit a flex plate, but a flywheel hits and everything I have is at the machine shop or running right now

Thanks!

From mounting surface for trans to
friktion surface for clutch disc 1 1/2"
meassured with tapemeassure but
i guess its enough accurate

Got me thinking the flywheel apears to be
thin so i dont know can have been lightened
in the past.Tried to search another flywheel
but could not find one.Im building a new shop
so everything is a mess
But this flywheel is a 64 390 P.I and is 15/16"
thick
So add 1/2" so you have some play

Perfect, thanks Heo

So a guy from Massachusetts, living in Nebraska, had to ask a guy in Sweden to measure an American Ford motor

Got to love the internet!  Thanks again!

 :)Yes its a smal world isnt it.I remember when i
started playing with American Fords in the late 70s.
To order parts you first had to order a cataloug
and wait a mont or so to get it. Then get special thin
airmail envelope and paper the buy a check and
order parts. Then wait a couple of monts. Some
times you got your parts some times the dock
workers in Gothenburg stole them. Then go to
next town to the customs to pay the fees and
answer all the stupid questions. Then go home and
find out the pistons where for a Chrysler and
the camshaft was for a Chevy 6

Nowadays press a few button and a visa number
an about a week later you  find out the shifter
you ordered realy fits a 62 rambler and there is
22 lifters but they fits a Pontiac
