Default O-320 cylinder spacing

Does anyone have a dimensioned drawing that shows the distance between the centers of the cylinders on an O-320? I am making a split plenum and that dimension would make it easier to fabri-cobble the inner baffle wall which will go against the lower cylinder barrel fins. I could just rough measure it, but knowing the real value will make it easier.

Measured mine with dial calipers. Looks like 7.125" centerline of the cylinders.

thanks guys. Probably good enough for my needs. I will make my parts out of a cornflakes box and adjust as required before killing good metal.

cheers
