celica/curren and trueno, 3sge vs 4age

Hi there i wrote off my curren (1996, st206)
so got a celica (1994, st202)as a donor car as most parts are the same.
Put all my fancy interior across etc but am not left with alot of odds and ends and a 3sge engine and gearbox which i dont really want to see go to waste.

I have found a cheap Trueno (ae92) which is mint as and just needs the clutch replaced. Wondering if it is worth doing an engine swap and putting 3sge in this instead of the 4age. Would everything bolt up? is the trueno lighter? would i get more power? would i increase my resale value?

If anyone has any info that would be great.

the Trueno is lighter i dont think you can just change them over you would be better off sticking with the 4age sell your 3sge and get a turbo kit and ecu for the 4age and it will fly . allthough the 3sge is a good motor might pay to keep it for a sprare or do it up and put it in your celica . the 4age has around 115kw at flywheel the 3sge has about 135kw i think i know it has about 150hp
