Need new engine for a 260Z, need help.
 

I am in the midst of rebuilding a 1974 260Z, and have decided to just totally replace the engine. I am not much of an engine buff, so I need help getting the most torque and Horsepower that I can in the little space I have to play with. I appreciate all the help you can give.

Are you down in OZ ??? If not and you are in the US don't bother with the L26
motor put an L28 in it.

Well kewlcat, for maximum grunt at minimum cost you would have to consider sticking a 350 chev under the hood. Opinions vary on whether this is a good thing to do in terms of asthetics & tradition, but performance wise the V8 has a lot going for it in terms of bang for buck.
