There are no major reasons why you can't swap a Gte into a 400/430 chassis. If anything the 400/430 motor is worth a good bit more than the 300 motor and you could get some of the cost of the Gte swap back.

Driveshaft, exhaust,wiring (someone who could re-work existing gs400 wiring to work with aristo wiring, not only for ecm but for other control's as well), motor mounts, possibly fuel lines, torque convertor (different stall speeds), and rear end gearing, (might be too much stock gs 400 vs gs 300, for the turbo's to spool properly). That's only off the top of my head, of what u would need other than the clip from a donor. Unless u already own a 400, I would get the 300 and start from there. It can be done, just cost a bit more.

I don't know alot of are again thie swap, Alot SC400 with 2jZGTE /1jZGTE with V160 or
R154.
If you get the 2JZGTE VVTI from JZS161 the wiring is not gonna be alot of hassle.
Get one from a 97 aristo, those don't have the immobilizer.
It's just like swapping the GTE in the SC400.
I say go for it, you can sell you engine and tranny to offset the price of the swap just like" Macd7919" said.
