3sfe to 3sgte swap

hey im pretty new to toyota's. Ive been researching them a lot but i haven't found much in the way of swaps. i have an 89 base camry with a 3sfe in with 194k on it. I was wondering if it would be too complicated to put a 3sgte or 3sge in it?

This engine swap has been done before in other Toyota's, have you done a TN history search.

A Google search will turn up many hits on this engine swap.

The article below is pretty on this subject.
