Having said that, the list you supply sounds good for a "reliable" 400 WHP build.
I really question the infactuation with the 1JZ. The 7MGTE is a strong engine. Capable of outstanding performance. Correcting the head gasket issue makes it VERY reliable.
NOTHING wrong with with the 1JZ or 2JZ, but why go to the trouble?
I suggest you weigh the cost of all options, rebuild verses engine swap. Consider the "quality" of the JZ engine you intend to purchase. Do you know the real condition of that JDM engine? Most likely, a rebuild of the engine will be required prior to install, to make sure it is sound.
Bottom line, their is nothing wrong with the old tractor motor.

im not saying there is anything wrong with it i just dont think my engine is going to be as repairable as it needs to be if i need to buy a head i think i might just junk it but its still up in the air
and i admire the fact that the 1j and 2j are easy to upgrade to higher levels of hp with one upgrade i like both series and may end up building both in the long run id love a divorced down pipe and so when i take the twins for a spin i hear them as soon as it turns over
