It's worth remembering that the T18 chassis is very similar to the AE86 chassis, and I don't hear anyone complaining about their handling. Sure in stock form a T18 is pretty ordinary, but then again so is an AE86. Spend a bit of money in the right places though and it will handle very nicely indeed.
As for the engine swap, my personal preference would be a T series engines simply because they're so damn strong and they're capable of massive HP without having to replace most of the internals. A 2T-GEU is a great place to start, then whack a turbo on it and you'll have a real weapon on your hands. It's also possible to use your existing 3T-C bottom end to make a 1.8L "stroker" 2T-GEU.
The 3T-GTEU is a good bit of gear as well, but they're very hard to find in good condition these days and if you find one they tend to cost more than they're really worth. The 4A-GZE is probably a better option than the 3T-GTEU, but I suppose it depends whether you want to modify it in future.
