Having replaced not one, but TWO 2.2 liter engines in the same celica (oh and an axle. and a bunch of other shit) for a guy I know, I can tell you you don't even want to touch this shit.
A) I'm a Toyota mechanic and I have access to a lift and all the tools necessary to replace the engine. Still a huge pain in the ass.
B) Good luck finding an engine that ain't wasted in some way or another. Usually they pop head gaskets and warp the head, and at the point just put a used engine in it.
C) One of the best techs I work with just bought one and has spent the last month trying to figure out WTF is wrong with it.
If it doesn't run correctly or needs to be towed home the day you lay your cash down, don't touch it.
