The
Type A engine was a
straight-6 engine produced from
1935 through
1947 by Toyota.
The
Type B was a technically more advanced version of Type A.
The
Type C was a straight-4 engine derived from the Type A.
Many parts were interchangeable between the Type A, Type B and Type C engines (eg pistons, valves, rods). Many of the same parts were also interchangeable with the
Chevrolet Stovebolt engine, from which it was derived.
The
Type S was a
straight-4 engine that replaced the Type A, B and C in Toyota's passenger cars.
Type A
{{Infobox Automobile engine| image =| name = Type A| aka =| manufacturer = Toyota| type =
straight-6 cylinder]| supercharger =| turbocharger =| fuelsystem = carburettor| fueltype = petrol (gasoline)| oilsystem =| coolingsystem =| power = 62 HP| specpower =| torque =| compression =| fuelcon =| specfuelcon =| oilcon =-->The Type A engine was Toyota first production engine, being produced from
1935 through
1947.
This engine was a 3.4 L (3389 cc) pushrod, overhead valve, 6-cylinder, 3 bearing engine copied from the Chevrolet 3 bearing
Stovebolt engine. It produced 62 HP (the Chevrolet engine produced only 60HP) by virtue of a modified intake manifold.
General Motors used a number of local Japanese suppliers for the smaller engine parts (eg carburettors). Toyota was able to use the same suppliers for its cars. The parts were identical enough that pistons, rods, valves, etc could be used in both the Chevrolet and Toyota engines interchangeably. There are several recorded instances of Toyota parts being used to fixed second hand Chevrolets. "Japan's Toyota with Stovebolts", Bob Hall, in "Special-Interest Autos", Mar-Apr 1977
Toyota had initially considered copying the
Ford flathead V8 because it was the most popular engine in Japan at the time. However, the machining of 2 separate banks of cylinders would add too much to the production cost, so the Chevrolet engine was copied instead.
Other references to the Chevy engine claim different power figures. It must be remembered that different manufactures used different measuring techniques (eg with or without the generator/alternator connected), engines differed from year to year and that some manufacturers simply lied. In this case, Toyota did back to back comparisons using the same techniques, so it is likely that the Toyota engine did in fact produce slightly more power than the Chevy engine on which it was based. It must also be remembered that the Chevy engine was likely to be a year or two old, so the current Chevy engine may have produced even more power.
Applications
Type B

B was produced from 1937 through 1955 as a more technically advanced version of the Type A. It had a 4 bearing crank (same as the 1937 version of the Chevrolet Stovebolt engine).
The Type B was succeeded by the similar 3.9 L Toyota_F_engine in 1955. The Type F is rumoured to have been based on the Chevrolet_Straight-6_engine engine in the same way that the Type A and Type B were based on the Chevrolet engines of their times.
An unrelated 6 cylinder diesel engine introduced in the 1970's was also called the Toyota_B_engine.
