Nice condition! Worth looking after..

 

Motor and gearbox swap is not too hard, just drain all the oils and water first. The auto can really make a mess of a garage floor! Don't forget there is auto oil in the bottom of the radiator.

 

Hang onto your 4K, you can use it as a dummy motor for head porting and making manifolds for carbs and all sorts.

yeah deffenantly a 4k motor, like altezzclub said keep it or keep the stuff that's swapable, like heads and dizzys and stuff, also if your looking for a replacement engine the 1981-84 corolla KE70 had the same engine 4kc and you could even get if you want the 4ac out of the ae71 which is a 1.6 L instead of the 4kc 1.3L so a little more power, also if you want to get some more power out of them replace the stock carby with bike carbs you can pick them up for a $100 to $300 depending on what brand. makes them sound amazing tbh way better than the stock sound, (more tough sporty sound)

the fellas network videos will probably help here.

If you do decide on going with an engine swap may I suggest either posting in the sales page in the forums or join the E chassis Australia page (on facebook just hit request to join and someone with add you) and just post a WTB post for an engine, you'll get like 20 responds within a day.
