Default 1960 block dimension

Anybody got a '60 389 block that's got the pan off it? I'd like to know the measurement across the block at the engine mount bosses. This dimension might be the same on later 389s with two mount bosses per side, but I'm not sure. I'd like it measured with a dial caliper (+/- .020"), but even a tape measure would be better than nothing. Thanks.
