You might want to poke around rbz32.com a site dedicated to that swap. It has been done many times. The 2jz has been done also, but less so. You have clearance issues with the 2jz so need to have a hood bump made.
Both swaps are significant costs ranging in the $6+k range (good enough) to the $15+k range (doing it right). A lot of parts still have to be fabricated and most engines you source will not be in the best shape and thus requiring rebuilds.
Both engines can make great power and have large aftermarket support.
The third option is to twin turbo swap your car. No major modifications have to be made, and despite a normally ~$10k cost, this can get a lot less is you just get yourself a front clip and are willing to do some of the work yourself. The VG30DETT engine is not one to ignore, and I like it simply because so many people underdog it (because it was never featured in a fast and furious movie, I guess...)
