Checkin out the Toyota World.

Hello, I'm checkin out the toyota world. Looking for my next project.

Mabey you guys can point me in the right direction to begin reading..

I'm looking for a Hatchback that has a back seat and you can swap engins in. Front wheel Drive, Rear Wheel Drive. Doesn't really bother me, I'd pay a little more to get a RWD swap though. But there could be a really nice FWD possibilty that the wallet likes and is a better HP to weight ratio.

I've done many swaps on several cars..
MK2 VW Jetta Vr6 (that car ripped..torquey 6)
MK1 VW Golf 16V
Helped a guy do a B6T in a Ford Festiva, might build one of those.
460 Ford in a 72 Ranchero (loved the fuel.. shreads tires)
Helped a guy do a V8 in an RX7 that was interesting.
My first car was a 91 Nissan Sentra Automatic. I'd put it in 1st and rev the snot out of it and click in into seond and SLAM in 2nd it went.. Then it started doing that all the time and never died

So what's the best bang for buck here. Big Toyora Engine, little car, tuning possibilities?

Starlet?
Celica?
Corolla?
Cressida?
Others?

Whats a good platform?
