1983 Tercel 3A-C engine for sale

Post by Diesel »

I am converting my 4WD to a diesel engine. The good running 3A-C engine is for sale. It is still in the car and may be driven to test. Compression is 177, 176, 184, 185. The odometer shows 170k miles. I do not know the history of this car. I am near Sacramento, CA

Welcome to the Club!
As Neu mentioned - this would be watched with intense interest.
Incidentally, with the price of diesel fuel ever outpacing that of gasoline - are you contemplating running on SVO or mixtures thereof?
We will have lots of questions, but answer in your own time - but please answer!
