deciding on an engine to swap. HELP!, currently 7afe, but wut next?? Options

[cjh4l22]

OK so here's the scoop. currently i have a 95st w/5spd and a 7afe engine that is leaking a little oil and has just under 260k on it. so, by x-mas i'd like to swap it w/something b/c i'm afraid the engine won't make it till summer plus i'm asking santa for x-tra power this christmas. lol SO I'm asking for info from the wonderfully knowledgeable ppl here on 6gc.net I need to know which engine would be my best choice based on the following criteria... a) ease of the swap b) power gained b/c like i said, i would like an increase c) ease of turbo later and d) cost effective. b/c i have been considering a 3sgTe but it just seems too expensive for a poor college student. furthermore, i was hoping for something w/an equal if not higher displacement than the 7afe (1.8L) but i have heard good things about the 4age(20v) which is only 1.6L. If anyone would be willing to enlighten me, please do so and i'd be forever greatful. thanks.

Oh, and no i don't plan on racing this car or anything, just building up a car thats got some guts, ya know? something w/some spunk. anywho, thanks for your help.

So whatever I go with..It's gonna be hard and expensive. I went to a tuner shop today..and the guy basically shot down my idea. Keep in my mind this is a honda shop and he knows jack about Toyotas I'm sure but he brought some things to my attention.
1. Even with a full uncut wiring harness, you go from right to left hand drive and it involves alot of soldering.
2. He said something about the pressure plate not matching up or some BS but I'm sure it's false.
3. Angles of the drive axles would be wrong..
This guy was pretty rude, and a know-it-all.The fact that these guys charge 65 an hour to do work sickens me. I kinda wanted to let them know an acronym for CIVIC. Clear Indication VTEC Is Crap.

Apparently he had a kid in earlier this fall wanting a 3SGTE swap and it didn't work..So now there's a 3s on the south side of my town...So..If i can find this motor...This cuts out the expensive shipping cost.

If I could get this motor..Then go find a GT in a junk yard and salvage the trans, axles and motor mounts all I would lack would be a wiring harness correct?

Whatever the case..I want my car to have a little ass in it. The 7AFE and it's dimunitive 100hp irritates me..And rebuilding and turbocharging it sounds like a recipe for disaster and more broken piston rods.

Every answer I get just breeds more questions. If it wouldn't be such an effin hastle I'd think about gettin a new ride.
