I wouldn't try getting that sort of power out of a 3T; you'd pretty much have to strip it down and replace half of the engine. You'd need forged pistons, ARP rod bolts and head studs, heavily ported cylinder head, custom manifolds... the list goes on. In summary, it would end up being a very expensive 3T-GTE.
A much better option is to start with something more modern like the 3S-GTE or SR20DET. Both engines are proven packages, and extracting 400hp from either is a well-documented process. The initial cost of installing the engine will be higher, but this is easily offset by not having to replace almost everything with custom bits and pieces.
Forget the 2JZ idea, it won't come close to fitting without major structural surgery, and even if it did it would completely root the handling. Stick with the four-bangers if you want your car to handle around a circuit.
