my opinion is this... your getting a 165 so i would keep the '23 instead of having a 162 & 165
although the 162 and 165 are different, theya re still the same to me confusing myself
but having a 70s one and an 80s one would be cool

Same. Of course, I don't know your whoel situation, but having an st165 & 162 would be having 2 similar cars. The again, perhaps that could be a good thing, especially if you're goinf to mod the 165 and have nice left over hand-me-downs for the 162.
Why put a 5sge in? Already have the engine? The same amount of work would give you a nice 3sge, or a bit more for the 3sgte.

Yeah, the 5S-GE is not the 5S-FE in case that's what you are thinking. A 5S-GE is exactly that, a 2.2litre S-series block with a belt driven twin cam head + efi. Not the gear driven twin cam like the 5S-FE found in the 1990 Celica SX etc.
I'm leaning towards keeping the TA-23 too...
