Default Wood Block size under the Cowl

I'm working on a Gordon Smith Air Compressor I just bought last weekend.
It's the Kit that they offered back in the 1930's.
I need to replace the two pieces of wood that fit under both sides of the cowl.
The wood is almost completely rotted away so I cannot get the original dimensions from these pieces.
Can someone tell me the length, width and thickness of the Original Ford Wood Blocks?
A full side template would be ideal if someone has one on a bench that they could trace.
Thanks for any and all input!
