112kW Toyota 4M engine & auto for sale, excellent condition

I have a complete 4M and auto for sale. It has done a genuine 102,000kms (just clicked over today!). The engine is still fitted to the car and I can take you for a drive. I welcome any test!
These engines are rated at 112kW from the factory. It comes complete with everything (alternator, air conditioning, even power steering!)
Would be a good replacement for someone with another M engine that is getting a bit tired, a great upgrade for someone with a smaller M-engine, or a great stop-gap if your engine just blew up and you're saving for a turbo engine swap!
Asking $400 complete, SE Qld only. I am in Brisbane.

Contrary to popular belief I do know what I'm talking about.
THE TOYOTA 4M ENGINE, AS FOUND IN A 1976 TOYOTA CORONA MARK II IS RATED AT 112KW FROM THE FACTORY.
I said at no point "this engine is better than your (insert shitbox engine here)"... nor did I state that this was a good engine for your race car.
I stated what the engine is rated at. I stated that it would be good as an upgrade for a Toyota with a smaller M engine, as a replacement for a daily driver, or as a stopgap while building or planning a project engine.
You can check almost any automotive website at they will list the car as being 112kW. If you look hard enough you will find, in fact, that I did overstate the figure - it is actually 111.8kW from the factory.
I wouldn't bet my life on the fact that the engine has 112kw, but this is definitely the commonly accepted and advertised figure.

7m, i think that the others are simply pointing out that the power output of a 4m in 2003 is going to be consoderably lower than when it was new

that figure is typical of how manufactures rated engines in 70's.
It would be the gross v's net form of dynoing.
back then most engines were tested less all ancillaries - fan, air filter, exhaust etc.
in reality it would put out less.
