    Default Pics of GX81 1GGTE Factory or Custom mount pics

    Has anyone converted there *X8* to 1ggte?
    I'm in the process of doing so and am having trouble with the mounts.
    Pics or any helpful info would be appreciated

    i thought the GX81 came with the 1GGZE motor. maybe if you find a ze cross member for the gx81 you wont need factory mounts.

    The car originally had a 1gfe. I'm replacing with a 1g-gte from a GA70 supra. So I've swapped the sump over. The main thing is that the mounting positions on the 1g-gte block have the turbo oil drain pipe smack in the middle on the exhaust side and some other crap on the other.

    So I can't use the mounts off've the original motor because they don't fit being cast alloy.
    I tried making my own mounts out of assorted 1g mounts, but the motor was to high and they split apart.

    I've found some one who can make me some up. I found pics on the cressida forums also so don't worry about getting pics.

    I'll try to post up details of my project if I can.
