What to do? Options

I bought a celica a few weeks back. A black 96 st 25th anniversary edition. I love it, it handles like a dream and is plenty fast around town, but I'm looking to gain a good 70+hp. Basically I need some help deciding how to achieve this. Keep in mind that this car is my daily driver and has an automatic transmission. The car has about 130,000 miles in it so I'm thinking an engine swap might be a better idea than turbocharging. Any and all help is appreciated, especially any sources of motors that would fit my car and trans. I'm looking to spend not much over $3000

i see.. well a good engine swap could be the v6 one... 3mz or 1mz or.. if you have the anniversary one its a 7afe engine right? you could put in a 4age or 4agze.. those engines are covered under the engine section in the stickys. i dont know if you can do it with 3000 tho as you'll probabbly need a new transmission with the new engine and labor + engine might be too expensive.
