Celica GT, Corolla, MRS, base Matrix (i think XR) have the 1zz-fe.

Celica GT-S and top of the line Matrix (i think XRS) have the 2zz-ge.

check newcelica.org toyomotion.org celicas.net everythingcelica.net clubcelica.com i think that shoudl do it... usually thers a few celicas for sale on the for sale forum.. but nothing flooded they go for about 13-17k. IF I were you i'd just go to gagels or some yard and see if they have one.. the ones online are in good condition...
