Welcome!

2zzge is the best choice, considering your requirements. However, if you want to get creative, I have seen Honda B series and K series swaps done too.

Honestly it would be to much of a PITA to go to a 2ZZ-FE engine with your auto transmission. You are better off finding another 1ZZ-FE at a junk yard and do a straight swap. this would be the most cost effective option.

Quoted from Monkeywrench in regards to Engine swap to 2ZZ-GE to a Auto

"Your GT is an automatic? That’s trouble. The GT and GTS use completely different automatic transwmissions. You can’t run a GT auto trans with a GTS ECU. Even if you get a GTS auto trans you still have some serious wiring problems. You’re best off sticking with a 1ZZ engineor tackling the difficult job of converting your car to 2ZZ manual. 2ZZ automatics are generally no faster than 1ZZ automatics anyway."
