L6 heater hose lengths?

Can anyone tell me the factory length of the two heater hoses for an L6 engine? I suspect mine are a few inches too long - which is understandable since they’ve been replaced by custom cut hoses a few times, and any measurement of the length will err on the long side....

Thanks!

I felt like the gates molded hose I got for the lower on my 250 with a 4 core radiator was a little short since the 4 core radiator goes over closer to the battery than the stock radiator.
