Distance between throttle body and radiator?

Can somebody measure the distance from the tip of the throttle body to the radiator for me? I'm trying to figure out if I can stick the MAF right at the throttle body opening and still fit one of these between it and the radiator:


Unfortunately, I'm not likely to have a motor in my engine bay for many months in order to make the measurement myself.

Thanks.
