I looked into this a while ago when I was thinking about putting a 7M-GTE into my MA61. I had a 7M that needed a rebuild, so I did the maths and came to the conclusion that an import engine would be considerably cheaper than a rebuild. Then I realised a 1JZ wouldn't cost much more than a 7M... then I found a 2JZ that wasn't much more than a 1JZ... and the rest is history. 
Anyway, I have a friend who blew up his 7M, and he came to the same conclusion I did - a rebuild isn't worth it. He bought an import 7M and swapped it in, and the thing was like new. Unfortunately he neglected to re-torque the head and blew the headgasket, but that has since been fixed and it's running great now.
The moral of the story: get an import engine, and torque it down before you start it!
