What engines will fit in a 1986 mercury topaz?

Only the 2.3L HSC Inline 4 will fit in the 1986 Mercury Topaz. If everything in the engine bay were gutted, perhaps something larger such as a 3.0L V6 from a 1992-1994 model MIGHT fit but it would require a complete running 92-94 Ford Tempo or Mercury Topaz with the V6 engine as a donor car (and, if you could find such a car, it would be more worth your time/money to invest in it v.s. a 1986 model). The automatic transmission from a Taurus WILL NOT WORK in a Tempo/Topaz.

What could be causing a 2003 Toyota Highlander's steering column rattle?

What kind of 'rattle' are you trying to describe? Is it simply 'annoying?' Does the wheel itself feel 'loose?' It could be something as simple as a loose wire that runs inside the column up to loose steering linkage. If you have any doubts as to the seriousness, get it to a shop ASAP!
