you would have a better and cheaper not to mention time retrofitting a 4A-G(Z)E 20 valve or a 2ZZ. you wont be able to keep your transmission for either without a VERY smart EMU. the 4A ECU is made for a A242E which you MIGHT be able to get to mesh with an A245E but a well built 4A (which youd need to justify the cost of the swap) will toast all but the toughest trannys. a 2ZZ will straight up ROAST anything but the Tiptronic or a 6 Speed. you'd be better off keeping the stock motor if you only want to spend 2000 as any 2ZZ in a junkyard probably has a fried oil pump and you wont be able to TOUCH a 4A 20V OR a well built 4A-GE for less than 2500 (if you want it remanufactured, which you will otherwise your playing russian roulette with your engine).
as for Nissan motors. you MIGHT be able to drop a SR20DE from a sentra SE-R or an older one from a 200SX. but you're still looking at 2000 for a reman engine alone. and a toyota transmission will need custom a bellhousing to bolt to a SR20. not to mention a custom EMU.
and as for your 2JZ... no, get it out of your head. a 2JZ is a physically LARGE engine (seen one out of car) and would not fit under the hood without EXTENSIVE modifications to the frame and Unibody. not to mention the 2JZ was ONLY designed for RWD, there is no Toyota transmission for the 2JZ that is NOT RWD. as for making your corolla RWD, you'd be better off buying a new car.
if your interested in keeping stock but want to have an automatic let me know. i can help you get a nice fun car for about 2000 to 3000 give or take. it wont be a straight line burner. if thats what your looking for then you have the wrong car. 8th gens make nice autocross cars but thats the extent for your average tuner that doesn't have ridiculous amounts of money.
