Apparently it's a 1452cc A-block with a Swirl Control Valve (whatever that is), from a 1987 Tercel, pushing out a chassis-twisting earth-moving tyre-shredding 62bhp. It has a different bore to a 4A though, so no easy crazy 3A-GZE hybrid options. The upside is they run over 35mpg from anecdotal evidence, but still not much of a drift car engine. The previous owner of your Corolla probably blew up the 4A and just picked the cheapest replacement option. Unfortunate event really, at least it's unusual.

edit: Apparently the JDM AE85 came with a 3A-C, 90bhp, no mention of it being badged a SCV though.

Sure no problem, I just called the guys at the junkyard and told them you needed a new motor, they said its cool. So just go down there and say I sent you. Then you can pick out any motor you want. I'm sure it will work.
