Default Hood measurements please

Can anyone run out and quickly measure their hood's width and length for me? Or know these by heart? The one I need to know for is short style but if yours is long I can just subtract a few inches.

The width is the biggest concern as I'm trying to figure out if it'll fit in the back of a van, diagonally if necessary. Trying to transport a bunch of parts cross-country, other than the hood this isn't a problem but I don't want to trust it (near-perfect LT-1 hood) to Greyhound if I don't have to!

Thanks!

-Chris

Perfect, thanks. I haven't picked up the vehicle I'll be moving it in yet either but from what I can find online a Chrylser Town & Country is 49"Wx48"H in the back, so I should be good!
