Direct bolt-in conversions for KE30?

Yes i've read the superjamie.net/oldcorollas and searched the forums.. and I can find plenty of people spitting out engine numbers and stuff..
but for a mechanical newbie trying to learn about old rollas, and who doesn't want to worry about custom this, custom that, EFI, and so forth.. and just wants something with a bit more power..
What kind of carby engines better than the current 1.2L will bolt straight into a KE30?
2T/2T-G/3T?
what else could I put in?

Straight bolt in? Try K series, perhaps 5K from KE70 etc. Will be an improvement but not ground-breaking. 7K is bigger, but that's EFI.
T motors can be made to fit. See Jonny's page, he has fitted a 2T-G to KE35. This involved crossmember modifications etc. but would be a far more attractive package than K motor when the work was done.

Yeh just after posting this I found that page about the 2T-G..
I'm not after ground-breaking performance.. this is a drive-to-work car.. i'm purely in this for the experience to learn about engines and I figure the best way is to have to put one in..
The mods required to put in a 2T-G, to the crossmember etc.. are they extensive? cutting, welding, etc? or just drilling some holes to make things fit?
The idea my mate had (who has as much experience as me, so it could be flawed  ) was to stick a 5K or whatever in.. something that bolts straight in, then turbo it. Is this doable?
