Wanted 4AC Corolla engine

[Cozzy]

Hi all,

I am new to the forum. I thought i would try this website before buying an engine from Brissie. I bought a Sierra last year and it has a 4AC engine in it. The engine is cooked and finding another one is proving rather difficult. I am in Darwin and a secondhand 4AC with freight will be $1095.

Does anyone have or know of a 4AC engine that they want to sell, it needs to be in good running order.

Thanks

Cozzy

Needs to be the rear wheel drive engine

most of the wreckers in brisbane here have converted to pull it out your self

salsibury wrecking has gone

the abc at darra is a pull it yourself

most have a $2 dollar entry fee

http://www.capalabawreckers.com.au/ only big wrecker left in brisbane

there is a toyota wrecker on the gold coast but dont know if they go that far back any more

all carby cars go straight to the crusher in brisbane

only other option is to find a parts car and go from there

try looking at wreckers along the coast in QLD. bundaberg .maryborough .noosa

Fair enough, but like you said most of the stuff in Brisbane has converted to U-pull-it style, which isn't that useful if you're halfway across the country and are trying to avoid/save postage on a couple-hundred kg lump of cast iron (4ACs are worth a case of beer, or maybe $100 at most for a pearler, so freight is the main cost here)

It could be worth checking out the Darwin4x4 forum if you haven't already.
