Default External dimensions of 241 or 243 heads?

Looking to see if any of you guys with a 241 or 243 head laying around can give me a quick measurement. Measured with a caliper preferably.

Looking for two dimensions on the front (or back) of the head, from the top of each valve cover rail to the deck surface of the head. You may need to use a straight edge to extend the valve cover rail out far enough to get a proper measurement.

Just like the pic below if it's clear enough.

Thanks!!!

Come on guys, this is simple. I'm sure more than one of you has a 241, 243, 317 casting laying around you could measure for me...

Cool! So, the two surfaces run parallel with each other?

The reason I ask is the Trickflow's have a slightly raised rail that is taller on one side than the other.

Thanks for your help!!!
