What is the exact difference in length? (I probably used to know this, but it has long since gone into the dead storage area of my memory bank).

I've not measured it accurately, but it's around 3/8" to 1/4". You're right, you can strain the mounts that far (especially if they are a bit older), which is what I did on my first conversion as well. But I always had a hard time keeping mounts in that car, and I think the length difference is one of the reasons why. When I did it again, I elongated the holes in the rear cross member by about 1/4", so the mount lined up, and never had another mount failure.
