Default 200sx possible motor swaps?

me and my cousin r wondering if a sr20det would possibly fit into a 1984 200sx (CA18DET) or if there were any other swaps that would be possible. some guy told us that a pulsar motor would fit but i really dont know much about this model car.any information would be helpful

Thank you

ca18det, harder to find but potential is there.
ka24de(t), ubber easy to find...turbo that truck motor and have some fun
or the sr20det..again easy to find. all are direct bolt ins except the ka requires some fabbing of the oil pan and crossmember iirc. oh yeah, wiring em up will be interesting too.
