engine Xmembers

[Clinton]

i was wondering the other night when i was lying in about about xmembers and if any 4a xmember (say from an AE82) would mount up to a ke70? anyone care to shed some light on the subject?

[kaibeecee]

no, FWD cross member will obviously not bolt into a RWD car as the gearbox is obviously in the front and the engine is horozontally mounted, no go

just get a 86 crossmember, it bolts straight in, or fab it yourself

[Clinton]

thanks buddy :2thumbs:

[Javal]

AE71 crossmember will also fit.

[steroidchickens]

i got a spare ae86 crossmember. pm me if you are interested.

[gearb0x]

so does this mean ke70 will fit in ae86 ??

[driftism]

yes it will... but i'm not sure why you would want to do a 4k conversion :S

[gearb0x]

so it wont bolt up with my 4age

[86xxx]

From what i've heard (may be wrong) people who fit 4age to KE70 or whatever use the AE86 crossmembers... So no it wont bolt a 4age in. you could put a 4k though?! :unsure:

[ae71]

ae71 and ae86 cross member are the same and are needed to make a 4a motor bolt in.

ke70 cross member is almost identical to ae71/ae86 exept one of the mounts it either higher or lower. its just easeyer to bolt in a ae71/ae86 then modifiy it.

gear box cross members are all different between the modles, ae86 and ae71 are different although they both have a t-50 box.

but an 86 and 71 gearbox crossmember can still be interchanged...i have an 86 gearbox xmember in my 70 however only one bolt either side is used like a ke70 x member/......
