The "easiest" swap will always be an engine that is the same as what's already installed. Anything other generally will require swapping the engine harness and ECM and adapting it to your original harness, along with possibly needing to adapt mounts, transmission, fuel system, exhaust, axles, etc, etc., depending on what engine you plan on installing.

180SX-X

The SR20DE would be the best engine if you have the means. Next might be a CA18E (or DE , but not sure if it came as a FWD layout off my head). Or the unusual GA16DE, but it's actually a decent engine that I think would suit a N13 quite nicely.

If you have money put a Maxima VQ35DE in there!
