Major AE86 help needed!

[generalachoo]

Congrats on the great forums. As an enthusiast from the US I am impressed at the quality of the forums. I just joined today, but I have been reading several of the posts by the members!

I saw an ae86 sr5 with a blown motor for 500 USD (about 350 euros) and I decided to buy it (was it a good deal??).

Ill need to replace the engine, but this is my first engine swap. What is the absolute cheapest I can do an engine swap for just to get the car running--it does not have to be a great engine! I also want it to be an easy swap that requires little modification.

We are just trying to make this car "run". Right now it is pretty much stock with a blown engine. Just to make the car run without problems how much do you think it will cost and how long will it take? Everything else with the car is in great condition.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
