Camel Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hey guys, I am in the process of fitting a 3TGTE into an RA65 celica and was hoping to find a crossmember that would provide a bolt in solution. The engine still has the factory mounts, I read on an old forum that an SA60 crossmember worked but am hoping to get some confirmation prior to tracking one down There is also the TT142 crossmember, can anyone confirm if the corona version has same chassis/LCA mounts as celica?

Celica RA45 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 try ta63 .. the tt142 might fit ,but you need to look at the chassis ,like looking at the strut towers and see if they are the same .ra40 celica series and rt 132 corona use the same front strut panels and bottom floor pan as well .hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_feinted Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi, to my knowledge TT142/TT140 would be the bolt in solution as would TA61 and TA63 as mentioned above. Corona, Celica and Carina all share the same platform in the T140 & A60 series. Not 100% sure about the SA60 bolting up to the 3T ?? Can you look at one of those online part catalogue websites to compare part numbers/diagrams? The earier model celica and coronas TA45/ TT132 all used steering box so not bolt in.
