74 260z what to swap?
Hey guys new guy here, I'm picking up a 260z this weekend and the car is going to be my daily I picked a 74 because I don't want to deal with the smog laws and the 260 has been my favorite Z of all time probably. So my budget is around 4K max I would say I would like a little more modern Nissan engine if possible. SR20, RB20... My question is which engines are the easiest to swap I've been searching the forum from what I saw people are saying go V8 I really don't want to do that. Since it's going to be my daily I want it to be economical also if possible not a big V8 and I really would like to keep it in the Nissan family
Thank you
Thank you

Yes,,, do what nismo says.
I took my 260z and added the 280zx turbo stuff to it. It cost about 3 times as much as to just buy a 280zx turbo motor and install.
Swap and done. I would recommend doing a computer upgrade as well. Maybe a z31 ecu swap while doing the motor install.

As for the NA L28, you'd need a Crank Angle Sensor (L28ET Dizzy and oil pump spindle - or - an external CAS or something) - but otherwise I don't see why not...
I'm all for the L28ET swap as being the cost effective answer to more power, less fuss. (just start with a better engine management system from the get-go - don't fight the stock ECCS if you don't have to...)
