2JZ-GE conversion- info pls anyone!!

Hi all,
I've been weighing up my options of fixing my 7M-GE on my 91 MX83 cressida but another possibility is converting to a 2JZ-GE (thats the jzx80 N/A supra motor, plus was found in some soarers/sc300's) for a gain in power (168kw vs 147 for the 7M, better fuel economy plus of course eliminate the head gasket problem (which is why i'm looking at converting in the first place- car overheats!)
From my initial research i would be doing the following:
2JZ-GE supra front cut including intact loom, ecu, automatic transmission, and all ancilaries intact (raidator, a/c compressor, pwr steer pump etc.)
1jz sump (required as both the supra and soarer are mid sump, but a 1jz from a chaser etc.. is front sump)
JZX80 engine mounts from toyota japan (1jz mounts ive been told should fit the 2jz aswell)
I'm fairly sure that physically fitting this engine in my car will cause no dramas (seems to be a bolt up job essentially). But wiring is a different issue, i see that the 2jzge still uses a conventional distributor and coil ignition, but would anyone be able to help me with what sort of work would be involved in rewiring a auto 7M-GE loom to suit the 2JZ-GE and automatic transmission. What about getting things like the speedo, cruise control and a/c to work?
I know this conversion has been vaguely looked at in the past and from all indications seems relativley straightfoward, but has anyone actually ever done it before?? Is the motor worth the hassle of conversion? Im thinking a budget of approx $3000 if i do most of the labour myself, although i've never done an engine conversion before - would this be a good starters project??
Any input would be appreciated (especially from 2jzge conversion veterans  )
Cheers.
