ChrisWantsBoost is an unknown quantity at this point
For 300-350 horsepower, building the KA would be the best choice. It would be significantly cheaper than swapping a 2JZ.

Depending on where you buy it, and what you're looking for, the 2JZ can cost anywhere from 6-7 thousand for just the engine. With the same amount of cash, you could fund 90% of your KA build: suspension, brakes, cam, turbo kit, engine rebuild kit..ETC.

If you're really set on a "badass" swap, I would suggest an SR20. They're cheaper to swap ($2-4,000 for engine), and achieves 300 horsepower with a few more pounds of boost than stock.
