7M-GTE: 3.0L, long stroke/smaller bore.
1JZ-GTE: 2.5L, twin-turbo (single turbo + VVT-i in newer models) with small cylinder bores and short strokes for fast revving.
The JZ family of motors was intended to take over 27 years worth of M motors. The 7M had head-gasket eating tendencies, and the 1JZ isn't available in North America. The M is the old predacessor.
Both engines are not made for the Supra exactly, as they come in several other cars. You've got 1JZ-GTE Mark II/Chaser/Cresta's, 1JZ powered Soarers (SC300), etc etc.
