Default Will it fit? - In need of dimensions

I'm trying to figure out how tight a squeeze it's going to be to wedge an LS1 where it shouldn't be. (In an Audi Quattro)

Short of trying to crawl around a vette or camaro, which doesn't lend itself to easy access, does anyone have, or know where I can get, some good overall dimensions?

If someone had an assembled engine out of the car, it would be an easy measure.

In particular, I'd like to have:
- Back of block to front of crank pulley
- Back of block to front of water pump
- Back of block to front of throttle body
- Back of block to front of timing chain cover
- Center of crank to top of intake manifold
- Center of crank to top of valve cover (vertical height)
- Center of crank to bottom of oil pan (incidentally, how much difference is there in pan depth between the F-body and Vette?)
- Overall width (outside edges of heads)

Thanks a lot guys!

Here's what I found-
LS1 -

26" Bellhousing flange to crank pulley
28" Bellhousing flange to front of water pump
25" Bottom oil pan to top of manifold
12.5" Bellhousing flange to center of motor mount
15" Bottom of oil pan to bottom of exhaust ports
26" Wide to outside of exhaust manifolds
