Can't look at these without thinking of Jesse Pinkman.
Funny thing is, in The pic I posted, the red one in the middle has a plate that says PINKMANCan't look at these without thinking of Jesse Pinkman.
That sounds about right, from what I have seen. I agree with trying to save it, or at least forward it on to the Radwood community, since they are pretty rare now.Are they though? Looks like they go for ~4k on bring a trailer.
I decided to pass on it. Went to sleep with nightmares of a rusty seized engine from sitting so long.

What V8 do you think would fit in a Tercel? Buick 215/Rover?Oh, goodness. Rear axle, you say? I'd be so tempted to pull the engine & trans and replace them with a small V8 and a matching RWD transmission, then surprise people by doing burnouts all over town.
But maybe I have a problem.
Personally, I'd go for something like a supercharged 2zz instead of a v8. More fitting of the character and probably a lot easier to make work.What V8 do you think would fit in a Tercel? Buick 215/Rover?
Honestly? It's probably a more interesting car than some of your other ones, so I'd be pretty tempted to pick it up (since you said you were going to pass) and get rid of something else. Perhaps two something elses.
That is the general plan for the fox. But replace v8 burble with turbo whistle.Oh, goodness. Rear axle, you say? I'd be so tempted to pull the engine & trans and replace them with a small V8 and a matching RWD transmission, then surprise people by doing burnouts all over town.

That is another concern entirely.OP lives in CA and this is not gonna get past CA smog test inspection
Good idea though for someone living in another state...
3sge may work, hood height is a concern.Personally, I'd go for something like a supercharged 2zz instead of a v8. More fitting of the character and probably a lot easier to make work.
The Ford Windsor 302 is very compact... so how about that one? I'm thinking you can make it fit where an inline four once lived.What V8 do you think would fit in a Tercel? Buick 215/Rover?
