Engine Swap Question

I was wondering if anyone has attempted to drop a 1983 nissan 280zx turbo (L28ET) into the first gen? For those that don't know much about the engine here are some specs

-The L28ET produces 180 bhp (134 kW) at 5600 RPM and 203 lb·ft (275 N·m) at 2800 RPM.
- 60 mph in 7.4 seconds weighing 2800 lbs
-Block work was done to hold an increase of boost, I was told it was running at 10lbs (compared to the 6.8-7 lbs) of boost before it sat for 2 years.

What do you think I could expect in performance? Any advice would be great, Thanks!

Wrong section. Theres a section for engine swaps on here. Maybe the mods will move your post over.
