Did you consider doing a LSx series motor? The 2JZ is of course a great swap, usually if you want huge number you do one or the other.
I have a 1JZ-GTE in the shop, but it's the correct motor for the Soarer conversion (getting R154 5-speed right now).

My old roommate had a FD RX-7, an LS1, and all of the conversion parts to put it together.... He got accepted to a very good art school in GA (SCAD), and sold the project before it ever went together.
a part of me died that day.
Good luck with the build, NEVER GIVE UP!! This car is going to be fantastic.
