what can i use out of a JZA70 half cut into a MX83??

[bungs]

if i do get a mx83 i will do it properly will try and source for the orginal mounts not the JZX90 ones

Meh. Works fine for me, engine sits perfectly in the bay. There's no chance the engine could sit any further back or else it'd hit the firewall. The radiator hose fits perfectly, the tailshaft fits perfectly, so I fail too see how it sits further forward then any other mounts would.

There was a thread on toyotacressida.net that showed the differences in engine location within the x83 bay when using x81 or reversed x90 mounts.

Just for reference here's pics of mine. Yes my rad support is a bit mangled..

ive got a JZX81 converted mx83 in my driveway, if needed, i can take needed measurements?

but they pull on the rubbers and snap them in about 3 months with agressive driving.

ive replaced 3 sets in the same car.

cheers

i assume your talking about rubber engine mounts?

new or second handies?

standard or aftermarket equivelant?

ive only ever used Ezra's (Byteme) mounts, i doubt they'll have the same issue.

I've not compared the angle between the JZX81 and reversed JZX90 mounts, but I do know if either is used with the early MX83 crossmember which has more angle on the mounting plates, the mounts will be stretched and tear through.

I thought it was common knowledge that you have to use a jzx81 crossmember OR a series 2 mx83 crossmember (which are identical). If you somehow managed to bolt any sort of mounts to the series 1 crossmember then no wonder the rubber is stretched lol.

sounds good guys cheers for all the info.

so the x81 same as x90 mounting them on back wards?

[EldarO]

i wouldnt say its the same, but similar enough to work, yes.

Cheers mate.

will let every body knows what i will get

much appreciated for the help
