Default DLE-30 Firewall to Prop Dimension?

I am getting ready to build a Gee Bee model Y from plans and installing a DLE-30 engine. I do not have the engine yet and I am trying to find the distance from the firewall to the prop hub with the stock stand-offs?
Thanks!!

Thanks for the help,
I will have to recess the firewall 3/4" to accept the DLE-30. I just placed the order for all the wood to build the plane.

Thanks! that's good news. I picked up an Extra 260 that used to have a 30 on it and I'm putting a 35ra on it. Should all bolt up about the same.
