I don't think it's a very popular idea on this car, but it is an idea. they are definately not cheap, but you would have plenty of fuel.... you could run a crank fired ignition like MegaJolt and then you wouldn't have any use for the factory computer.
also, the NA 7m is a pretty fast engine in stock form in a lighter rig (as mentioned before).... If I recall correctly single cab short box chevy s10's are pretty light, and someone told me that a 7m fits in there......

to the OP--> have you considered a supercharger.... it's not quite the same as turbo.....
you might get to your goal at around 10k rpms otherwise.
Even in the theoretical realm of mathematics, you won't reach 300 hp without either more rpm or denser air, or more displacement.... choose one and go with it
I don't know how much ITBs to set up on a 7m.... but I wholeheartedly agree with you here, webers are bloody expensive! I think that the jets are made outta platinum or gold or somethin.... it's nuts!!

You will be ther for 1500 dollars.

And will run on the existing GTE electronics just fine if it's a budget build.

You're fighting a pointless battle with this whole thing. If you love your NA 7M, rebuild to just be a clean STOCK motor. Save your time, effort and money for a 7MGTE or a 2jZ or even a 1JZ. I am good friends with CRE. He built one of the best budget/high power NA 7M's I've seen. He pioneered the use of MAFT-Pro with a 7MGE. With a shitload of knowledge and tuning ability, he was making more than stock power, but just barely. With my BONE stock GTE, limited tuning knowledge, I'm pretty positive I make more power.
If you ask people that have pursued the 7MGE high power build, I'm sure nearly every last one would say it was a terrible idea. CRE has told me it was basically a foolish endeavor. His time/money and energy could have gotten him a super responsive, super clean turbo build.
Build it basic, clean and stock. Save your time and money and effort for a cause worth the labor. You can get great power out of a 7MGTE or 2JZ for what you had budgeted for your 7MGE build that would struggle to yield 275hp. With 10 grand and a 7MGTE or 2JZ you can easily make 450hp...
