ta22 engin conversion

hello all, I have recently aquired a ta22 shell for $200. All it is missing is an engin, gearbox and drive shaft. The engin that was in it was a 2tgeu. My brother bought the whole car very cheap but only wanted the engin to go into a ke20 corolla. so he sold me the shell for cheap. The only problem with the body is it was in a minor front ender, it has little to no rust, but really needs a new coat of paint. Now what i need to know it what would be a good, and relativly simple conversion. i would like to steer away from the 18rg (too many have this conversion). I was thinking a six, maybe a 1jz, but if that would bee to hard of a conversion, maybe a 4age.
Thanx in advance.

TA22's have a tiny engine bay, so forget about a six unless you want to spend a great deal of money. You're better off sticking with the small 4 cylinder engines, eg T series or A series.

4A would be a great way to start!
then later, add a turbo..
in such a light car (relatively) it would go quite well.
