B777 Engines

To help settle a difference in opinion: In the absence of readily available specs can anyone confirm that B777 engine pods are (roughly) the same diameter as B737 fuselage?
Thanks & compliments of the season to all.

As big as the engines are they aint quite that size. The fuselage on a 737 is still a couple of feet more than that of the fan on them.

Some early DC-10 artists' views showed a DC-3 profile superimposed on the DC-10 #2 nacelle w/ long inlet duct. They were virtually identical in size.
