Ive done the GT4 engine swap into a 90 Celica. It it definetly the best option to take. You can do the swap for under 3k if you can do it yourself. To turbo the 5SFE and make the engine as strong as the 3S, it would cost around 2-3 times the price.

I got my engine from ToyotaKing in Sunshine in Melb... You definetly have to get a front cut in my opinion because u need everything to do the swap.
