5EFE tercel/paseo motor question

Hello,
First off I would like to say that I am new here, and i have just picked up a 92 paseo a few months ago. My question is regarding the engine. I bought the car from an auction and it had a blown motor, threw the connecting rod through the block. The car itself is in pristine shape. I know that the motor is a distributed 5E-FE 1.5 litre. I live in canada and it is near impossible to get a motor for this car, at least not for a good price. I also know that the 95 and up tercels have the same motor, with the exception that it is not distributed anymore,and these motors are a dime a dozen up here. the distributor on the paseo comes out of the head,and it runs off of the cam. does the tercel head have this provision in it, and does the cam have that drive on it? if not,, my head is still salvageable, will that fit on the tercel 5E-FE, so I can run the distributor? Can someone please help me, I bought this car for my wife and she wants to drive it. I am a decent mechanic, but I am not too sure about toyota swaps.
Thank you for the help
Joe
