So, I missed out on some parts on a local forum and launched into a whiny tirade complaining about how everybody knows I am looking for all this stuff and I posted a list. I should have done so sooner. People started coming out of the woodwork with all sorts of stuff. One of the things was an old engine that I want for my collection. I once owned a car with one and I was quite smitten with it and would like it for the future. I plan to eventually have several restored classic engines on stands in a room of my house. I get a PM that somebody is going to be cutting up an old car and if I want the engine I can come get it. That's like a girl asking if I want to squeeze her boobies, OF COURSE I WANT!

Sorry Igor, here we go again. I couldn't do it without ya lil buddy! :bigthumb:

This engine is older than many of our members.

Big hairy balls and even at 30+years could still put a whooping on somebody.

My car had this motor, but the next version did use the 4AG

The old Starlet was a 3K 1.3 liter.

You're absolutely correct! Johnny, tell him what he's won!

As the person who correctly guessed the answer to this glaringly simple question you have won a high resolution picture of a trophy. Look at it, copy it, save it, photoshop it, print it out and post it in your workspace as a constant reminder to your co-workers why you rule and they suck.

Be aware, trophy is not really a trophy, but just a picture of a trophy. Winner is responsible for all associated taxes, title and registration fees associated with accepting trophy. Trophy does not have California emissions and thus may be illegal to bring into that fascist state. Family members, friends, co-workers and associates of TMS including random people he may have given the high hard one in the back of his car on a lazy saturday night after racing your boyfriend are not eligible to receive trophy. Void where prohibited by law and some restrictions apply

And now that it has been revealed, here is what a really nice one sounds like.

I love how at the end of the second video he stalls it and it won't start and he apologizes for the carbs acting stupid.
