I'm in need of a Cressida guru...

Basically, I'm after a cressy for a GTE conversion, but I know there's a few different flavours to choose from. Should I go after the GLX, GLXi, Grande...?
I'm unsure if there's any differences in the brake packages they come with, driveline, diff, etc - I'd like to know which model is best suited to the conversion. I know there's quite a few nutters here who have done this conversion, so any help would be great!

Grande is the one you want; it comes with an LSD from the factory, which is a must with a turbo engine!

grande also has ABS
the leather is a bit of a hassle tho 
before the grande was released i think the GLXi had some grande options on them.

MX83 Grande has ABS and LSD
MX83 GLX doesn't
GLXi is actually a MX73 (boxier early model)
91-92 mx83 already has correct crossmember for 1JZ engine
It all depends on how much pocket money you have

Well this is the add I was interested in:
TOYOTA CRESSIDA GRANDE 1990, auto burgundy, service history, 06/2004 rego, GGM-673, $6000
That sounds to me like an mx73. Would that be right? If so, that's not really what I'd be after from a conversion point of view then, is it?
