Your probably not to far off. I have the eailer 3E in my Tercel. The 3EE was basically the same engine with the fuel injection head. Both had valve and valve seal issues. You can get a rebuilt head from an outfit (JIS) down in Texas shipped to your door for under $300. I have used these guys a couple times and have not had any issues. Changing the head was quite simple compared to my fear of the unknown foreign engine. I took a quick look at the eBay store and didn’t see one listed but you could call them and see what they can do. There was one in Florida for $250.
However as you stated I would seriously consider a full rebuild. After I did the head I developed a knock and was back in it within a month. A full rebuild of the engine should run about a grand (your labor except machine work) and was surprisingly not hard to do.
My 3E rebuild cost Head – 250 (rebuilt) Master Kit – 275 (gaskets, pistons, rings, bearing, and such) Timing kit – 125 (belt, tensioner, idler, water pump) Machine work – 250 (local shop) Misc – 100 (oil, antifreeze and such)
I would also be careful buying a used engine to put in it. The Tercel was known for cluster issues and it is not uncommon to be switched out with a lower mileage cluster. Not that the seller would be a crook, they just might not know…….

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
