When did you get turned into a moderator?? Your username isn't even green!
Also, to OP, based on who voted what, the people with actual knowledge and experience are voting 7M. Fanboys are voting Redblock. Just FYI.

Does your old worn out 7M parts pile need a blessing administered to make you feel that this swap is kosher?
The A340 automagic obviously fits, standard in a 960. It's been done, it's not impossible. Most of the guys that swap 7m, 1J pr 2J are in NZ/AUS, but Nathaninwa had a 2j 944 which was sold dirt cheap considering what he had into it...
If adapting alien engines, LSX fits in a 7/9 as does a 4L80E (TH400 electronic with OD basically) and both are dirt cheap and don't require a rebuild/obscure old parts and you can keep your smooth idle/easy to drive torque/possibly some basic (highway) fuel economy and A/C if it's a DD.
77volvo245 sells LSX mounts, not sure for 7/9 though.
You can usually find a young/within 10-15 years LSX/4L80 for less than one single vaguely significant part for a worn out/dated 7M will cost.
The 7m Deets:
The Good
Bored 0.040 over
Brian Crower 264/264 cams
Forged Crank
Solid block
The Bad
Needs to be honed
Needs all Accessories (alt, fuel system, ECU, water pump, oil pump etc)
Needs Rods and pistons
Needs a Turbo and intercooler system
*It was originally in a friends MKIII Supra track car that consistently ran Mid 10's in the quarter mile. But he over boosted + NOS and blew a piston. Yes the block is fine and has been checked by a local legendary automotive machinist.
So that's what I have. All out in the open. ive been pricing the build I want, in comparison to others builds, and for roughly $6k I can hit my 600whp mark with room to grow if I feel its needed. This wont just be a track car, I want this to be able to be a DD if I see fit.
Why 600 hp? Nobody ever says why they think they need whatever they imagine they need..
Cause if you make even 400hp and are going to pound on the car you can't just "discuss" motor but motor, clutch, gearbox, propshaft rear axle, and diff have to be discussed..
Cause all those parts will fail.

I know its going to need Trans work, rear end and much more. I'm not worried about that at the moment... I'm strictly discussing the engine and which would be the better choice for the power I'm looking to achieve.

I highly doubt OP has driven a legit 300hp redblock car.
Asking for a specific HP number with no basis in reality sort of suggests that.
Still haven't said who you are, what skills you posses, what experience you posses, ( I'll let somebody kinder and more kind than me point out the hilarity of a guy desiring 600HP asking these question on a forum overflowing with dreamer 23 year old kids giving advice), what tools, what budget for the whole shebang,
and above all why 600 hp?
