Well, at the risk of getting a bullet to the head, a Nissan engine would be easier/cheaper to fit. RB20DET would likely do the trick, so long as you remembered some 4.11 diff gears, decent intercooler, up the boost, remap the box, big exhaust. In it's favour, they're cheaper to buy (manual especially!) and you can get ready made engine mounts etc. to stick them straight in (RB30 conversion parts).
That said, a 1JZ would be a nicer choice, but has a few issues. A manual halfcut/package is likely to be pricey, although adapting a W58 would be cheaper and should be fine in a light car. Also, the 1JZ is a chunkier bugger, and I'd imagine would take a bit of brutality on the sump etc. to clear the steering etc. - but go ahead, do it, and it should be a great thing - make sure you remember to replace the Torana diff though!
