Will a 24 3/4 conversion neck fit in an ESP neck pocket?

Hey everyone!  The post is pretty much self explanatory.  It's originally a 25.5" 24 fret guitar (the conversion necks are 22 frets).  Anyone had any experience with this type of thing?  22 fret neck on an originally 24 fret guitar?  Im leaning towards the idea that it wont matter, that the scale is the only important thing.  Ive been re-assured that the conversion necks are made so that they'll intonate correctly with no changes, increased screw length, or issues with the tremolo (especially a floyd rose).  Now i just have to figure out how to find out if the neck pocket for the esp will be a perfect fit for the conversion neck from warmoth.  The ESP model for referrence is LTD M-100FM.  Anyone know how I can find this information?  Thanks in advance for any and all help!
 
Does the ESP 24 fret neck have the Fender neck pocket and equivalent fretboard overhang like the Warmoth 25.5" scale 24 fret neck?  If the answer to both is yes, then the answer is maybe.  If either answer is no, then it won't.
 
it seems like the 21/22 fret bolt on esp's would have a normal fender pocket. They do some strat and tele copies if you look on their website.
 
What STDC said... Where is the end of neck at 21th fret?

Take measures of your guitar and compare with this:

Wow those pics really helped me out!  Thank you so much for the information!  Yeah the ESP doesn't look like it will fit.  BUT I have a strat style body that DOES have the same neck pocket dimensions in my sights.  Im going to crunch the numbers and see if I can do this project!  Thank you again!    :rock-on:
