My new '75 corolla - Toyota Yaris Forums

Like FunctionSpec, I would select none of the above. It looks so clean now why change a thing?
Being that you have a very nice nostalgic in excellent shape, I would keep the original motor. I've never seen an engine bay so clean.
I can't see the motor, but I assume it's a 2TC in there. You could upgrade to a 3TC or 2TG or 2TG/3TC hybrid without any modifications.
I believe in semi-preservation. Sell those rims and get some older SSRs or Watanabes.
...But if you really want to do a swap (keeping it 4 cylinder) 4AG or 3SG.
If you really really really want to go 6 cylinder - 1JZ or 2JZ definitely, no 7M.
If your budget is only $5,000, then 2T,3T is the best option. Florida has tons of parts and shops for that motor.
But keep it in the Toyota family!

I would love to have that car!
