I had to destroy what was left of my originals to get them out so I wasn't able to get a measurement except for the rear most part of the block. The new ones I purchased are the same thickness front to rear. I hope I don't have to pull them out and recut them...

I believe (from memory) that most replacement front blocks for '28-29 models are made the same thickness throughout so they can be slipped in from the front. Most folks don't unrivet the cowl to get the blocks in from the rear as Ford did. On the standard Ford bodies the long cowl block DOES NOT have a step in it like the one I showed above. The block had a taper or transition area between the two thicknesses. This MAY be why you had so much difficulty removing the blocks.
