I've had a 4AGE in an TA then RA23 for a while now, & I reckon it's a great little engine. I dunno how much fun it would be for towing stuff, even just a jetski.
There are some good articles on 4A-GE conversions in the articles section, check that out for conversion tips.
Costs, make a generous estimate then double it. I am being deadly serious about this too.
Bang for buck, 20V is a bit trickyer a conversion, but will result in a bit more bang.
Engineering in QLD I have no idea about.
As for whether the 4AGE is the best pick, I'm not too sure.
If you want to do towing, & you want a fairly easy/cheap conversion, & engineering is a concern, I probably wouldn't recommend the 4A. An 18RG has a few more cubes, is a much easier fit, & the car would be much easier to get regod with it in any state, as some models of celicas came with them standard.
Now if you wanted an engine for a track car that needs to be small and light & sit well back in the bay, then 4A would be the go, but would still need alot of work, maybe a turbo.
