I've thought some on this..
forget the tercel.. it would have to be the later SR-5.
Its not the most attractive car but it could be cool in a shaggin wagon kind of way.
You wedge a GT-4 engine and box into it east west(i would suspect this is possible as there are AE-82's with the same setup albeit the tailshaft outlet for rear drive is blocked)
the 4a-fe in the SR-5 is east-west standard (i think the older tercel has a north-south setup)
Then you either modify a GT-4 rear dif to fit or use any old diff as long as the ratio is the same. I had a look under one and the rear dif looked a damn sight like the diff in my sprinter... perhaps a hilux diff with a suitable ratio could work.
A custom tailshaft and your away.
Of course this all rests on if the GT-4 box rear shaft outlet has the nessasary slipping mechanism needed for driving on tarmac.. or else something would have to be fabricated and placed on the tailshaft at some point...
I suspect the reason it hasnt been done is it means big dollars.. and in the end your will have a car which looks like a SR-5.. and not a tough Sprinter
