240z rebuild advice wanted

[polarisriderXC96]

I have a 240 Z and don't know the best route to take in renewing it to its former glory. Here are my Questions:

 

1. I already started to replace parts on the stock engine, but I was contemplating the option of a 350 Chevy engine,

 which is the easiest route to take?(in terms of cost, time, etc.)

 

2. With the 350 will I need to replace the transmission or is there some sort of adapter to keep the original?

 

Anything will help, I'm a little lost.

Save yourself the trouble: take a big wad of $100 bills and light them on fire.

 

Honestly, it will be cheapest and fastest to get it running and driving in stock condition. Do a V8 swap later, but enjoy driving it for a while before you start doing major mods. The more you modify it, the more time it will spend in repairs.

I figured that would be the case, I will eventually post progress on the project and get opinions there as well but my z is in pretty disappointing condition. It will cost a good amount regardless.

 

I do appreciate the input.
