I've seen weber carbs put on a I4 4AG engine (engine in Mid 80's rwd corolla's and MR2's), and for those that don't know it that's a twin cam motor as well, so apparently it can work.

However, you won't find much room for getting a larger bore in the 7M's... Think about it; this is the seventh time that block has been modified. There isn't a whole lot of room left. Anyone who has taken one of these motors apart will tell you that. Not to mention stroking it much would put the piston velocity at a dangerously high level, almost certainly leading to engine failure.

These are the main reasons that it's not feasible to get over 280ish hp out of a 7m without forced induction.
