yes , and im not sure the 3tc was used in the hilux the only 1.8 i can think might have been is the 18r-c . the 3t-c is a 1.8L OHV (yes pushrod motor) that is also a hemi. Which is why it lend itself to modifications so well. The one in my wagon has a mild cam dome top pistons headers 32/36 weber 2bbl. THey are fun and take a beating like most of toyotas stuff.
