The most popular swap for the 1stgen Zs is the L28ET swap. This swap gives you the most power for your money. As Trudge said, the L28s are fuel injected so make sure you get the computer and wire harness. There are a few other things that you will need as well. If you aren't familiar with these sites, zcar.com and hybridz.org, check them out. They have a wealth of information about these swaps.
My personal favorite engine swap for these cars is an RB25 or RB26 swap from a Skyline. They aren't cheap and would require custom mounts, but the exotic factor is very high and even though they have gobs of HP, they aren't torque monsters, so you wouldn't have to worry about them twisting up your unibody like a SBC V8 would, until you started building them for over 400HP.
