That's what I was getting at... you're gunna spend soo much money fixing the 240k 7mge, and you still wanna swap... you might as well do the 7mgte when you do the swap... might have sound mixed or confusing since I think when I was trying to point out the 7mgte would be a quicker swap with less of a price tag, you were still thinking about 2jz swaps.. 240k miles, I'd definaly consider tossing that engine and putting in a JDM 7mgte w/ ~40k miles.. or you can send your 7mge to the shop, pay them what you'd pay to have a 7mgte dropped in (not including cost of the engine, tranny, tranny swap or combo thereof). Dunno about you, but I'd have much more peace of mind knowing I put something reliable in my car rather than something old and restored to hold together... knowing I got more power out of it would just be an added bonus.
