The only reason to buy an 89 crossmember is if you're throwing a 1jz in there. I have an 87 myself. Found no weeknesses in the motor mounts. Pay attention to the wiring (supras are notorious for bad wiring) and if you have a turbo watch the headgasket on high boost applications. Just a warning for later on.

Same here, from what I've heard about the crossmember swap is that it's for swapping a 1jzgte so that it has the room. The only thing I don't know is if that also at the same time leaves room if one wanted to go up to the 2jz.
