New to AE86...need help

[GSXBMX]

I recently purchased a 1986 toyota corlla sr5 and i have a few questions regarding upgrades and modifications.I want to build this car for a track/drifting car.Im not looking for crazy amounts of power or anything considering the car itself is so light.i figure a good 200-250 to the wheels range would be sufficient.What motor swap is reasonably simple for this car and at the same time has the potential to(with turbo or bolt ons) reach the 200-250 wheel horsepower mark???also,what are some good website to look for suspension,and engine modifications for these cars?I thank you all in advance for your help...take care

I would suggest starting here:

The silvertop or blacktop engine would be a good option to build for drift. They both are a strong foundation. As far as suspension, it all depends on your budget. Hope the website helps!
