You could in theory put a V160 6-speed behind a 7M, but you'd need some sort of adapter plate to make it fit (the V160 doesn't have a separate bellhousing). The better option is to do a JZ conversion (either 1JZ or 2JZ) and the V160 will bolt right up.
EDIT: expect to pay upwards of $3-4k just for the V160, and then you'll need to modify it to fit (shifter is in the wrong spot), then you'll need a custom tailshaft, custom transmission crossmember, and the list goes on. By contrast an R154 can be had for $2-2.5k and will bolt right up with factory parts.
