No idea, but it would be great if it would (for the same reasons).
I thought that in an ra40 or below, the engine pretty much bolts right up if you use the rigt mounts.

i would have thought it easier to simply modify the engine mounts (using only a grinder and an arc welder) rather than attach an alien cross member and wonder how to get the steering and suspension back to something that's drivable.
but hey... that's just me 
seriously now: i'd be wondering what that does to the inboard mounts for lower swing arms - plus (and i'm only guessing here) being concerned about the width (between mounting bolts the same?).

i think it has the same width between bolt holes. these are the cressida measurements, (730 or 740mm across and 105mm apart ie. front and back bolt) but it is hard to measure with a big dirty 5me still sittin in it and with a tape measure too. the ra40 xmember widthe between bolt centres is 745mm across and 115mm between front and back bolts. those measurements are correct for my ra40, but not so accurate for the cresdia. also i dont kno if the back of the xmember would fowl the steering drag link.
also i wouldnt kno if the suspension arm would be the same, i woul think it would be i dunno. i might sit lower or higher too.
anothere thing, maybe i could just use the mounts of the cressida, coz they seem lower, ands on a less steeper angle.
