Engine swap.. would this work?

Hi just looking for some quick advice :)
I found this engine on ebay for AU$1500

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-3SGTE-... cmdZViewItem

and was wondering if it would fit in my 1986 ST162 FWD celica. my engine has outlived 200,000+ks and overheated.. head gasket cracked so i replaced it, also machined the engine head but it doesnt run as smooth (or as quick) as it used to, so i am looking for a replacement engine.
Also i thought this could be an opportunity to get a turbo.

Thanks in advance

It'll fit with some cutting and welding.
What engine you got now? If its not a S-series, you'll need to move engine mounts and need tranny with axles.
