They were available in a variety of cars - Celicas, Carinas, Coronas and probably others. All from the early 80's of course.

3T-GTEU- as far as I know:
TA64 Celica GT-T
TT144 Corona GT-T
TA6# Carina GT-T
TA 64s look just like our RA60 coupes (the ones with boots)
TT144s look just like our RT142 Coronas, some were two door though.
The Carinas look great, sort of a cross between an RA 60 and a RT144
I've never heard of these engines being in Cressidas, mainly because Cressidas/Chasers/Mark IIs are a bit too heavy for this engine.
The homologated engine, 4T-GTEU, put out 360hp I think, for the Group B Rally Celica. Did quite well in African events, but really couldn't compete in europe against 4wd cars.
Hope I've been some help.

The TA64 was the Group B car.
Celica with 3T-GTEU was a TA63, same code as the Carina. Corona was TT142. Two spec levels, GT-T with all the extras and GT-TR with less options but lighter. Engines were the same.
All came with the W55 (have not seen an auto one but someone correct me if I'm wrong) and an F code IRS.
Carina was available in both four door or two door, have only seen two door Corona's with the 3T-GTEU. I believe the Celica came with this motor in both coupe and hatchback form but I haven't seen the hatch first hand.
The joys of living in NZ, all these cars are almost common....
