1sad521 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 it was recently brought to my attention that the engine in my 521 may not be a datsun but in fact possibly a toyota 3TC? it has the trans hooked to it so where might i find the #'s on either to put into google to figure my situation? im trying to get rid of it so any help would be wonderful! really the only pic i have of it if that helps the pros out there Quote Link to comment
kennysgreen280z Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 yah, thats a toyota motor. beond that I got nothin Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 To get rid of, just pull it and discard it. Can't see a 'Yoda guy wanting to give anything for it. Maybe you give it to him for him pulling it out... now that's a deal! Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Now of course I hate Toyotas and their smugness, but the 3TC was a good motor, even though pushrod. You might be able to sell the motor for 100 bucks or something. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I dunno... could be a 2TC. Little Jason will know... Quote Link to comment
1sad521 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 so does anyone know where to find the numbers to confirm 2TC or 3TC? it seems to be the concensus that its yota but some say nobody will want it and some say that i can something out of it. i think everybody knows which i prefer:D thanks for the help so far!:thumbsup: Quote Link to comment
ezcruiser Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 There should be an engine identification number on the block near the dipstick. Yeah, 400hp and 28psi later = the destroyed block above.. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 There should be an engine identification number on the block near the dipstick. Yeah, 400hp and 28psi later = the destroyed block above.. but i bet it was really fun before it blew :D that is definatly a toyota motor why it would be in a datto i have no clue Quote Link to comment
1sad521 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 it was sittin out in the country in mississippi:p 28psi?!?!?! you would figure an iron block could handle it eh? thanks ill check to see if i can make it out Quote Link to comment
ezcruiser Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) You're right 28psi is good for a built tc but I think this guy had a tuning error. Here is a link to mucho pictures of the carnage and a little precursor to the detonation: 3tc Garage If you weren't 9.5 hours away, I'd consider taking that motor off your hands... I've got an 81 mini waiting for something new... Edited October 27, 2009 by ezcruiser Quote Link to comment
paradoxx Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 maybe a 2TB, like the ones that came on the 1982 Celica maybe?, looks a lot like my father's engine. Quote Link to comment
