My kit was delivered with a long type 2 mount. Unfortunately I didn't
discover this before the engine was going in. With the holes for the nose
gear bearings already drilled, Lancair would not take it back
(understandable). The difference of type 1 and 2 is the angle of the mount
cups. If you draw a line trough the cups, this line would be 30 degrees from
horizontal(when viewed from the side) on type 1, and  17 or 18 degrees on
type 2 (if my memory is correct). My engine is a IO360B1B and uses the type
1. I was told that the crankcase that needed the type 2 was used in early
twin installations.
The long type 2 mount is hanging on my wall reminding me on wasted $$, so if
anybody wants it, you can have it if you take care of the freight charges.

Hope this helps.
