Also, because of different safety regulations, many of the cars from that era are remarkably light sans engine. You could probably get away with swapping in ~ 2.0L diesels (with or without turbos) and be fine.
I agree. The problem is that I would want to put an engine in that is easy to find parts for rather than something obscure. I really like the Nissan LD28 that was put into the Maximas: 2.8L straight six with timing chain instead of a belt.
Although, essentially what's most important is what I could get my hands on for cheap that has low miles and in good shape.
