1972 Celica ST 18R change to 22R

We own a 1972 Toyota Celica that has been owned by my family since brand new. It was left to sit quite a lot throughout it's life and now it's being loved again and we're trying to get it going. Unfortunately, the 18R engine that is currently in the Celica has terrible blow by and so we've been thinking we'll put a 22R engine into it. I was wondering if anyone has done this, or knows anything about either of these engines that could help. Main concerns are: if they use same motor mounts, if bell housing bolt pattern in the same for the 4 speed manual, just more information about anything would help! Thanks!
