hi guys, newb over here.

I have a 1976 280z and I am wanting to put in a new engine.

What is the best/resonable engine out there that will give me the best horsepower and gains?

Not sure what you mean about reasonable, but the choices are many.

 

Easy: 280ZXT with some mods is very quick

A bit harder: Gen I or II Small block Chevy V8 or V6 (4.3L)

A bit harder still: Small block Ford or Mopar

A bit harder still: Buick GN Turbo V6

Others: Lexus V8, Infiniti V8, you name it!

 

It's such a big tradeoff of weight, power potential, power versus engine mods/$$$, complexity, parts $, custom parts $.

 

What's your level of pain on that stuff?
