I have a brand new set for the Lancair Legacy with the 360 engine that I am
willing to sell for $200 including shipping.

I dont think the mounts are 500. I bought a brand new set off ebay for 200.

Keith,
You may have the same problem my 360 had when I bought it.  The rubber in
the motor mounts tends to sag.  There are a couple of fixes.  You could
replace the mounts which is bit expensive, someone told me the mounts are
around $500.  Another option is to use large washers under the bottom mounts
to shim up the bottom of the engine.

I've heard of several Lancairs with this problem.  You might search the LML
archives for other refrences to this problem.  My spinner has a good bit of
clearance between it and the cowl.  In my airplane, the alternator pulley on
the front of the engine was hitting the cowl in the front.

The shimming fix is not too bad of a job, you'll need to unbolt the engine
from the motor mounts, slip in the larger washer(s).  Hope that will be
enough clearance.
