is it possible to turn the tercel into rwd?
I don't plan on doing this anytime soon (as in not in the next 3 or 4 years) as I'm still learning about cars and how they work, but I want to one day have a rwd tercel. What I'm wondering is if it is possible to do without welding or cutting and is it within the realm of 3000 dollars or less. I kno...

Re: 4ac engine swap
I've found a few junkyard 4ac engines but if those do not work I do not think I would have the experience needed to know how to rebuild them. I've checked for engines online but the close-to-new-as-possible ones are around 1300 minus some rebate for the old engine

Re: 4ac engine swap
final question: as I said earlier the car has roughly 360,000 miles on it. I love the thing to death and would take it over any car, but the cost for a new engine is going to run me around 1300, not including storage fees and such until summer. I'm 17 (actually 18 as of yesterday now that I think ab...

Re: 4ac engine swap
for clarification by: "the 4wd feature is from the transmission and reward, swapping the engine will not turn the car into front wheel drive." You mean I will only be able to stay in 4wd if I put the 4ac in? or are you saying that swapping the engine will just keep it as 4wd and fwd? also,...

4ac engine swap
I know the 4ac is one of the more popular and easier engine swaps to do on the tercel and I'm asking since one of my pistons in my 3a broke (it was a matter of time, engine had 360,000 miles on it). Is it easy enough to do with low to mid level mechanical knowledge? I was able to replace the carbure...

how to increase acceleration or mileage (or both)?
Please inform me if this is the wrong place to put this, but I recently got a 1984 toyota tercel 4wd wagon with 350,000 miles on it. I love the car, but it seemingly has horrible mileage. Its acceleration is bad, but I expected that (with a full tank I get about 1.5 - 2 round trips to atlanta or ~12...
