Ok, after a few initial problems, the gearbox was finally ready to be bolted in at the crossmember... only the crossmember bolt holes didn't line up.
(dodgy paint art work to follow)
the kit came with the following crossmember
Not that actual one, but the same, with all the holes in 2 lines.
This fitted up to the car like so
Yellow = Gearbox mount
Blue = Car
Red = Crossmember

MA70 vs JZA70 Conversion?
Between the MA70 and JZA70 the only difference I have come across is they use a different flywheel + bolts, different bellhousing of course and the crossmember is different, apart from that the rest of the conversion would be the same process. The 1jz bellhousing is shorter then the 7m. The 1jz cross member is straight whereas the 7m is angled forward for the bolt holes.

on poombah's site http://www.supratt.tk/ I assumed I'd been sent a 1jz crossmember by mistake, so I asked John (soarer21) to send me down a replacement.
When the replacement arrived, it was the same  So I contacted John again. This time he asked what year car it was, and whether it had round or square mounts. I said square and was told that was the reason that the crossmembers weren't fitting. That the round mounts had the engine sit further forward than the previous square ones. I'd certainly like to confirm whether this is the case before pulling out the engine to replace the mounts and engine crossmember.
The R154 crossmember I have is identical to the one that was on the auto I pulled out, which seems odd as well, as it further confirms poombahs site. As for a W58 crossmember, that's even worse and looks like this:
(yes they only go on one way)
So if anyone can shed some light on this frustrating situation I'd be most grateful.
