turbo charging 260z L-26 engine from a L-28

Ok I am new to the forum. So bare with me as I ask questions. To start with I have a 260z L-26 engine I would like to turbo charge. I will be using a L-28 turbo charged donor engine. MY following questions are as follows:
1. I would like to know how hard is it to make my L-26 fuel injected.
2. I am going to put the P90 head on my P30 block form my L-26 engine. What
do I need to do to make the head fit.
3. I would like to change out the crankshat to a crankshaft that I have seen other
people use on their L-28 engine to make it 3.1 L. I would like any input on
this
ideal.
4. I would like to put a garrett T3/T4 turbo on the engine. Is a twin turbo possilbe
on this setup.
5. Is a 67mm throttle body from a 740IL BMW a good choice.
6. Once the engine is fuel injected. What type of fuel injections are the best to
use.
7. Can the 4 speed transmission on my L-26 handle this setup.
8. I know I have to replaced the pistions and rods. What is the best way to go w
with this?
I really dont want to use the L-28 engine in my 260Z because everbody I have seen usually puts the L-28 engine in replace of the L-24 and the L-26. I have also consider putting a RB-20, 25 or 26 dett engine in but I scratched the ideal becasue the motor alone cost more than what I paid for the 260Z. I want something unique and I havent seen anybody locally or on the internet that has this setup. Also my projected horsepower I want is 350-475. Anybody knows anything send it my way.

Your 260 has the same crank as the 280 and the bore is smaller than the 240. Your better of building the turbo motor. It's meant for it. You will be hard pressed to get to 300 HP.

I decided to rebuild the 280z motor. I want to over bore the block. What is a good size to bore to and where can I get a good set of oversized forged pistons that wont break the bank? Also are 240z connecting rods best to use in a turbo setup?
