Passing smog in Cali would be even harder with an L28ET, which I don't think is emissions exempt but I don't pretend to know California's convoluted emissions rules. The last 280ZX was made in 1983. The L28 is probably good for 300 Hp, maybe, but you'd best go for a V8 swap or a VG30ET swap if you want more and just welding up the mounts for the engine and trans can get expensive. Besides, engine swaps are technically illegal as well.
