A straight-6 is the best option, though a V-8 can be quite alluring. I know several RB25s have made their way into 240Zs, 260Zs, and 280Zs over the years, and they are excellent power plants and apparently a fairly easy install. Of course, then you have to ask about hard-to-find JDM replacement parts and such (my friend has an RB20DET in his 240SX and gripes all day about that problem). You could even go even rarer and put in a diesel; I know the Nissan RD-series (RB but diesel) is quite potent, as is the LD-series (L-series diesel). Those L-series themselves can crank out quite the horsepower and torque; you might just want to leave in the factory engine and work on it. Turbos are everyone's favourite accessory.
If you have access to one... go Skyline engine and add major boost, theyre known for handling big power gains well. Not to mention they just sound wicked.

find an l28et (from 280z 1980-1983). fit it with an ld28 crank, or something comparible. and overbore 3mm. it sits at around 3.1L. fit it with forged internals, and twin turbos.
you'll never need more power than that plant puts out.

And if the fuel feed is through 3 twin-choke sidedraught Weber carbs, that would be similar to the set-up used in that 'Devil Z' car, depicted in that 'Wangan Midnight' Japanese anime TV series.
They say it's based on an actual S30 Z car that was raced on the Tokyo Shutoku expressway by a group of real-life illegal street racers who called themselves 'Midnight Club'.
It is said that this 3.1L L28 twin turbo motor can put out 600 to 620hp without much difficulty.
Or is it just some urban legend?
