3a engine

Well since I've finished putting my new engine in, I have an old one sitting around. Anyone want it for FREE*? It has the valve cover, intake and exhaust manifolds, head, block, and misc parts from a 4alc. The motor does not have, the 3a fly wheel, timing cover, water pump housing, pulleys, and coolant pipes, it does however, have all these parts for the 4alc. It does not have a fuel pump or distributor.

How much would shipping be to Los Angeles, California? Maybe I can make a good one out of 2?

I wouldn't be able to ship it with UPS or Fedex, the motor is too heavy. Unless you know of another company, I could meet you somewheres in Oregon since I live just up in Wa state.

Carlos,since you can buy a complete,low~Mi Jap engine for $350(including taxes),I would think(unless the block has extreamly low Miles)that it wouldnt be worth much effort.I would strip all the re~useable periferals and "deem" the remaining blk the newest member of the Jk~yard~boat~anchor~society.

You know come to think about it, it might just not be worth it since you can get a used 4A-FE for as low as $250! I think that that is because it was available in so many cars- Corollas, Celicas, Geo Prisms, and who knows what else. Fuel injection would be a problem. I just what to go the 4A-LC way when I get some money

. I really want those 74 horses and to improve that maybe I should throw in a Holley carburetor and turbo!

Well, we'll see what happens. I'm back in school and I have twice as much work to do, but I'll post once and a while. Chula Vista wreckers have a lot of engines and other parts to offer so one day I have to check those out and Alan will help me, right?

No problem Carlos,and Im shure paying for the motor and related cost will be easy because of all the part~time work you've been doing,right? B)

Yes it will be, but I don't know when.

It looks like your pretty good at fixing your own Tercel so can't we form a Tercel engine installation club instead of the engine rebuild party? Anyway, I will need you help when choosing an engine that way I don't go into the mistake into buying a garbage-to-boot engine like it has right now. I can it imagine it now. B)
