This is why i dont trust junk yard "good" engines. I would rebuild yours if possible, if its got a hole in the block then yeah you need a new one, but i would still tear the junk yard engine down and rebuild it. I wrote a good guide on how to do this with a 7A-FE

yes a corolla engine will work, you just use your manifolds and sensors
