20V is an easy swap, I've done a silvertop to AE93 SX, and a blacktop to an AE94 CSi hatch now. I've also done an ae92 GZE sedan which flogs the crap out of both the 20V's...
you use all the ae92 mounts to bolt the 20V in, if you have a 4af motor origianlly you will have to hacksaw a bit off the timing cover mount for it to bolt up.
I'd budget about $1500 on parts on top of the cut to be safe if you're doing it yourself.... for things like clutch, waterpump, timing belt, seals, toyota coolant, oil's, hydraulic timing belt tensioner if it's a blacktop, pligs, accessory belts, etc etc. I would definatly replace the waterpump as I know of 6 different 20V conversions that have had the waterpump fail within a year of the completion of the conversion, and it's a LOT easier to do when the motor's out of the car... same as everything else you should inspect/replace.
I've seen silvertop frontcuts going for about $1800 or less lately, they are all getting up in the high K's now as they could be up to 13 years old... (silvertop was released in 1991.)
an ae92 4af radiator has the top outlet in the right position, the ae111 radiator is too tall unless you move the lower radiator mounts down a bit on the chassis.
The ae101 and ae111 PS racks can be bolted into the ae92 with ae92 rack ends installed on them, or you can swap the frontcut PS lines onto your AE92 power steering rack. If you use an ae101 or ae111 rack in the ae92 you will need an ae92 power steering column to bolt onto it, the manual steering one is different.
The wiring is the hardest but not impossible, you just have to go about it logically and not to anything stupid with the original ae92 loom. The blacktop loom is a LOT different to the ae92 and ae101 looms.
I paid $2400 for my AE111 BZ-G frontcut which was 5-speed with the superstrut brakes, not a bad price I thought considering I could only get a high K silvertop cut for $1800. The last silvertop conversion I did the frontcut cost $1600 with about 100,000K's on it.
