Default Engine mount height

Would anyone be able to tell me the uncompressed height of a OEM engine mount vs Stock Aftermarket height vs 3/8" Shorter? I think I want to use a shorter mount (like Hinson) but want to be 100% sure of the real dimension. I read a post about someone making a bunch of solid mounts once (Patches?) If someone has a set sitting could you please measure it for me?
This is for my LSA supercharger project - still in the 'getting stuff' stage.
Thanks for any help!!

I did some searching and found a post that said ~2-7/8". I was hoping for a more exact number. Since this is for a FI project should I have posted the question there?
Thanks

They aren't hinsons, but here are the stock (used/worn) mount vs a standard height AMT and a race/short AMT mount.
