So I’m going to answer this question seeing how I got no response.
I started building a duel case setup and in the direction for the MC08 they talk about 2 length of remote shift rails for the crawl box if your using a forward

transmission but did not give the actual length :hammer In the process of this build I came into some parts and had an extra hi/lo shift rod and wanted to make sure it was the right length before welding, and I know they talk about a 4.5 and 4 inch stand off for the 2 rods but throwing it on a ruler is easier then sticking it in the box and measuring out..so here you are. the longer rod(about 8.5”) is for 89 and older remote

transmission and the short rod(about 7.75”)

is for 90 to 95 remote shift transmission.
