need help with engine mounts/stands

[50mercfan]

hello fellas, ive got a 72, 350/350 turbo. the engine came in the truck in this position. problem is i can't get a throttle cable that is short enough. i bought the long one not knowing there was any differance. i bought the short one today at the nashville swap. it's still too long. one vender told me that me engine was in the 4wd position another told me that the stands are in the 6cyl position. can someone shed some light? i'm going to move it forward i guess. do i need different engine stands? there are no holes on the cross member for the forward position. there are some higher on the frame though.
