94 Celica ST Engine Swap, I need some advice...Thanks! Options

[iatmarketing]

I own a 1994 Toyota Celica ST Liftback Automatic Transmission.

My engine is dead at this point. One of the valves failed on me.

I am thinking of swapping the engine. The shop I know can install an engine for me for around $300-500.

I am considering a

A JDM 4AGE SILVER TOP 20 VALVE 1990-1996 COROLLA ENGINE

and/or

A JDM 4AGZE Supercharged Engine


Are these conversions difficult? On top of buying the engine and just dropping it in, are there other necessary modifications? I am a college student and this cant cost me much. The shop agreed to do it for $300-500. I can buy the engine, but will I have to modify other things once the engine is dropped in? Does this engine fit in perfectly into a 94 ST?

Also the supercharged engine thats for sale comes with a 5 Speed FWD. Would that be difficult to mount to the automatic transmission i have now? I don't want to convert to manual.

You guys here seem very knowledgable. I would really appreciate a response...

Thanks!

^x2 if you plan on keeping your car for a while, i try n find a place that does remanufactured enging, *not* reconditioned basically a 0 mile engine, gonna cost you, i think last i looked a full "swap" if you will parts wise was like 2800 and thats for new everything except block n head, which even those were bored n all that good stuff, new pistons, rods, crank, cams, valves, rings all that stuff that can wear, labor for doing such a swap at any random shop should run you about 1200-1400 for it to be done right, however, im pretty sure you can do it yourself if you are technically inclined or have a couple of friends who are as well, a nice lift also helps. if i dont decide to drop 7k finishing a 3s swap im prolly just gonna get one of them 7a engines like that and be good for another 200k+ miles

just my 2 cents, i know you said cheap, but thats the "right" way that id go =) plus most all of them come with descent PARTS ONLY warrenties
