Ah, the 3SFE was fitted later.....makes sense to me now!
Mechanically, fitting a 3SGE to your car will be dead easy - all the engine/gearbox mounts are the same. If you get a 2nd gen 3SGE the wiring should be relatively straightforward too (maybe even plug and play, but don't quote me) since the ST18x Celicas were fitted with the 2nd gen 3SGE in the JDM (ST182) models. If you can get an ST182 half cut then you'd be set. However, since the ST184 was never offered with the 3SGE (as opposed to the ST182 which was), you'd most likely need to get it engineered (not sure on the Vic regs) as the engine code is completely different.
If you just want a quick & easy swap to get a bit of experience, then dropping in a 5S would certainly be easier (not to mention cheaper), and won't need to be engineered. Check your ECU too (on the floor below the dash, behind the stereo) in case it was left alone when the 3SFE was swapped in. If it's still the original one (it should say 3S-F or 5S-F on the sticker on top somewhere) then the 5S swap will be even easier!
