7m, 2500-3000, make sure you inspect the bottom end and put a metal head gasket on there with arp studs or bolts.
1jz, 3000-5000.
These are estimates. Prices will vary depending on how much you can do yourself.
I say stick with the 7m, as long as you keep oil in it and put the metal hg in you'll have a damn near bulletproof engine. 1jz is a good engine too, but I like the bottem end torque of the 7m. You win either way, its a matter of preference.
7m you can pass inspection and get it licensed no problem, not sure how strict they are in your area...
Don't let people tell you the 7m is crap, do it right and it'll take it just as hard as the 1jz
