Um well actually courtesy of RA28_midge i have a document from the RTA here in S.A. stating that any toyota engine up to and including 2 litres, naturally asp, can be put into celicas from 71 thru 77.(and possibly later, but the rules change slightly..) As long as it meets the 2 page list of constraints..
A few people here in SA have been thru regency successfully with 18R-G conversions in RA2x series, but with the case of a TA22 you may need to specifically ask them of the engineering guidelines as to xmembers, gearbox mounts etc.. Because technically in their rules it is allowable to put an 18r series motor, or 3SGE for that matter  ,into a ta2x/ra2x and just need a regency inspection.. ie emmisions, suspension, small things, body etc..
But yeah, for the effort, you may as well mod the xmember for a 3T-GTE or 3S-GTE and snyper it/engineer it with slight brake mods, etc.. would be much more bang for buck/bother..
