First step is to find somebody with a KE70 crossmember and trade with them and get yourself a little cash from it.

The reason I say get a KE70 crossmember is because its a waste of a good AE crossmember.

Serious question? Find a S13 crossmember for cheap and make a jig, cut the mounts off and do the same to the KE crossmember. Line up the jig central to the KE crossmember with the S13 mounts bolted to the jig. Position the mounts (how far forward or back depending on clearance to firewall for where you want the motor/gearbox etc..) and weld 'em on. It can't be that hard really?

Make sure to only use tacks at first to do a dummy fit before doing full welds.

You may even be able to buy mounts to go straight onto an A series crossmember. I think chris on this forum may have some to sell (shift_rook).

not sure if its possible but can u run 86 LCA's in an S13 x member?
and does the 86 rack mount up into the S13 X member?
ive never tried just curious, would be good if it did
