3a-u... What Parts Are Worth Keeping?

[white_sandshoe]

Hi all,

 

I am horribly embarrassed that I've got a new car that has a 3A-U in it... 1.5L non crossflow head, carby lump of poo...

 

It's backed by a K50 with cable clutch, so I guess that may be ok for a KE-AE conversion without going to a T series and hydro clutch?

 

Other than that, is there anything in this engine that's worth more than scrap value?

 

I'll be pulling it to make way for something a bit more respectable, just wanting to know if i should just throw it in a rusty shell and send it to metal recycling...

Considering I think they only came out here in AL25 Tercels, the "demand" for parts would be non-existant. And anything shared with a 4A you can easily find...well...on a 4A.

 

*EDIT - actually, come to think about it, save some of the good nuts and bolts. They're always handy.

Yeah, that's what i figured... My main curiosity was if the 3A RWD engine mounts will work on the 4A... Anyone know this thing? :blinks:

I don't know if the engine mounts are usable but someone will want the box.
