Those motors are nasty. Most 22R powered coronas and celicas at wreckers are not in there due to accident damage... A friend of mine had one, blew it up, got it reconditioned, sold it to me, blew up again. 21Rs aren't any better. I've seen two of those blow as well. Dont go too hard on your mate re. oil and water.
1GG, 18RGEU, or a 3SGE would be good swaps. 1JZs will fit shoehorned. Or go jap spec and put a 4AG in it!
Its a shame about the motors cos Corona Avantes were pretty good cars.
