Hi, some time ago I posted some pictures of a 3AS engine that I wanted to put in the tercel, here are the pictures of the finished work. Comments are very welcome
Out with the old
In with the new
The car its an 86 Tercel, 4WD with automatic transmition
Very clean - no rust ! - where did this car live ?
NICE, professional installation - excellent detail in the pix. Congrats!

T4WD augury?

The engine its supposed to give 90 hp (67 kW) at 6000 rpm, correct me if I'm wrong since I couldn't find a lot of information about it.
I'm from Costa Rica, and since there is no snow here cars don't get much rust.
Thanks about the installation compliments, at the begining we had a very rough idle until a guy from the local toyota dealer got us a copy of the vacuum hose diagram, from that moment on, all was downhill, so if you guys happen to need the diagram for the 3AS just tell me and I'll scan it.
Very cool indeed.
The 3A-S was one of the engines I was thinking about doing a twin Weber conversion based on.
Those carbs look like the Japanese Hitachi knockoffs of SUs.
In which case, they'd run excellently...

JPSaNaB, can I have the 3A-S vacuum hose diagram, can you scan it for me? It would be highly interesting, indeed. I was thinking of swapping my 3A-C for a 3A-S. Can you scan it and email it to coolkevin366@yahoo.com? Thank you.
those are very nice engines i had one in mine a couple of years ago, but once the carbs start going foul, they are no fun, i still have it waiting for a refresh
tercel 4wd custom suspension, under drive pulley, vented brakes, cold air intake, and plenty more to come

Sure, no problem, Ill scan it and send it to you as soon as I can.
JpSaNaB, do you know where you got that 3A-S Engine? Can I get one from the same place that you aquired yours? Can I get a 4A-ELU engine from the same place as well? Can you post the link of the place, like website you got this from or just tell us where you got it from?
