Best Engine Crossmember to use for AE70 1UZFE swap?

[qagzie]

Hi Guys,
i need advice on what's the best/alternative engine crossmember to use for my AE70 to swap a 1uzfe. i'm having the engine stripped down and cleaned etc, but i'm not sure if the stock AE70 crossmember will do. Someone recommended one from an AE71 or MX83. any thoughts on this?

Thanx.

There is no factory cross-member that will have the correct mounts that will bolt straight in, use the factory one and cut the mounts off and start from scratch. MX83 would be miles too wide and still have the wrong mounts for the engine anyway. Or you could just make a cross member from tube.

Grab a ke70 one and cut the mounts off... People want ae71 ones.

Thanx guys. i'll go with the stock ke70 Xmember and simply and edit it like u suggested. i wonder why people want ae71 ones, @Matt?
