Corolla/Celica Project

Hi there, just wanted to start a new project. I have a 1G-GTE motor, minus crank, rings and head.. but heaps of other bits like block, forged good pistons, coil, intake manifold, throttle body etc..
I have access to custom manifolds, intake and exhaust, and can buy a relatively cheap turbo and stock GSR intercooler.. so I want to turbo something.. really wild. I dont really want to outlay alot of money on buying a good motor, so buying an old piece of crap would be the way to go, then I can spend the money I do have on rebuilding the motor and putting it into a car. Either I wanted an old Celica or corolla.. it doesnt have to be a legal install with the turbo, but I want something thats 2L and high flowing and can handle a couple hundred horsepower and heaps of boost. Budget is about $3000 total on the rebuild and manifolds wont cost anything and turbo + i/cooler i can buy seperately. I think Ill have to add an ECU into that 3g price too. I have a few months, (3-4) in which I want to do this.
Can anyone please recommend an easy to find motor, preferably something that will come with a corolla/celica stock, that will be ok to rebuild and handle a nissan bb t03 turbo? The 1G parts are there, I have the block and a G labelled auto box too.. but getting a head/ecu and other parts is too much trouble.
Thanks
Nathan
