I want a new motor in my '81 280ZX. What's the best?

I think an Sr20det would be sweet. But I've heard an L26et is better. Does anyone know? Help would be great!

an L28ET would honeslty be fine.

you could always go Domestic V8 though.

Yeah an L28 is cool but I want something with more aftermarket support. And I don't like american muscle. lol

VG30DETTRB26DETTSR20DET2JZ-GTE1JZ possibly?K20CVQ30/35 possibly, but likely not as much as above4G633S-GTE2ZZ-GE maybe4A-GE possiblyB18

That's all I can get off the top of my head at the moment. Tons of good choices though.

An LS1 is pretty sweet though, plus most domestic V8's have tons of aftermarket support. I've never been much a fan of domestics but the LSx series engines are pretty sweet.

Just for the record, this forum is for non nissan motor swaps...not that it hurts to keep here. But you'll probably get more jabs to go with a V8. I mean, they are cheap power and fairly easy to drop in.
