My brother has an '87 SX.
As you say, they are FWD. No LSD, unfortunately. They have power steering and four wheel discs.
The motor is a 1st generation 3S-GE. Factory quotes a peak 103kw at the engine. Consumption is about 9-10L/100km city conditions. It's a strong engine and with regular servicing will easily do over 200,000km.
Common problem is the manual gearbox. Make sure to shift up and down through all gears when test driving.
Parts are easy to source. Genuine parts from Toyota are expensive (compared to the '87 Twin Cam Corolla I used to own).
