Gseventythree 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2005 Stock crossmember.. im makin mounts for it today. . Since this is semi temporary im thinkin i may just make solid mounts.. cuz of where the stock JZX90 Aluminum mounts sit in relation to the MX73 xmember. .They are pretty much right on top but angled way off. . so a lil bit of angle cut tubing and some plate.. . :wink: Im pretty sure even if i had the MX83 Xmember. . id still have to make mounts(cuz i aint buying new stock ones). from what ive seen the MX83 member still has some angle to it. . the JZX90 mounts are perfectly level. .and set directly on the bottom of the xmember. . like. . there is no receiving plate. .( the mount is a liquid filled hunk of garbage withh one stud on each the top and bottom.) A buddy of mine ( http://www.bicperformance.com http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=276870 ) Makes mounts for early MA70 Xmember to 1JZ and i tried them out. . turns out that the supras use different holes on the block for eng mounts than the sedans(chasers/markII's/crestas) .. (his mounts didnt fit. .)so i gotta make some mounts. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
