Berni,
 
I couldn't tell from the one engine compartment picture.  I have the short mount and a similarly remote mounted oil filter because I wouldn't have been able to easily remove the filter if it had been mounted on the engine.  If you have a rear mounted prop governor, the short mount requires a depression in the firewall because the governor would extend about 1 inch into the firewall.  The long mount would provide about 2 inches of clearance between the governor and the firewall.

How can I identify which engine mount I have?  The following link will bring you to multiple pictures of the airplane. Can you determine anything from these?

Berni,
 
Long or standard engine mount (the long mount adds 3 inches)?

I just bought a flying Lancair 360 on Saturday.  After flying it home on a 700 mile cross country flight I am certain that the first thing I want to do is to move the throttle and mixture controls from their current location on the left side of the airplane to the conventional center location.  The airplane has a Lycoming IO360.  I am looking for guidance on buying the best control cables and the length needed.

I am going to start this project in the next couple of days and would like to get ahead of the curve by acquiring parts in advance.  Is it possible for me to order throttle control and mixture control cables without taking physical measurements?  Is there a standard length? 

If there are gotchas that I might encounter, please let me know.
