Terrence,
I chose a Lycoming IO-360 M1A/B with forward mounted governor to avoid having to make the dog bowl modification necessitated by the short dynafocal mount. I then bought a Jihostroj Governor from Mark Frederick at Team Rocket. This is a little less than five inches long and looks like it should fit between the aft governor mount and the firewall. Take a look at it at ... 

 

Regards, Chris
