I don't know the lenght but I once saw the prop rod replaced with what
looked like the trunk stay. Also could you use a gas cylinder like what is
on a late model car? That would be cool...unlatch you hood and it rises on
it own. (until...like a late model car, the cyliders loose their charge and
you end up with a 2x4 holding the hood up!)
