I was looking for a Tacoma in the paper when this little ad for a 75 inka orange 2002 caught my eye. Car is automatic but was filthy cheap. Was parked for the last 15 years, after towing it home, flushing fluids and adding a new battery, it was ready for a little drive around the block. The bad part is I think it needs a new headgasket among other things and I would like to just find another good motor to swap so I can play with this one on the side...

Cliff Notes: I was thrilled to finally buy a 2002 but need a motor or good rebuild kit. Would prefer to find a motor in the Southern California area; who knows what has been going on inside mine for the last decade.

Thanks all.
