Looking for motor

Post by prelyt »

Have an 85 that threw a rod. Need a new motor. Anyone have one for sale in Southern California or surrounding areas?

Thanks

how did you manage to do that? run it without motor oil?

you might expand your search and consider a 4ac as a replacement, it all bolts right in, using your engines mounts, intake/exhaust system, alternator, power steering pump, flywheel, etc.

They should be more common because they were used on corollas and other models, up until I think '92. And you get like 20 more HP in the deal
