And, a v8 would weigh a hella lot more than an rb25 would. not trying to flame man, but that last comment was really contraditory.
But, if I was to do a swap, I would go with the CA18 also. You can get them dirt cheap and you can get almost any part off a USDM pulsar to work for it. And it has just as much potential as a SR or RB would have.

Okay, thats an ignorant post. IIRC the LT-1 or LS-1 (cant remember) paired up with the T56 6 speed transmission (IIRC) Is approximately the same weight as your stock KA24 drivetrain. Its all aluminum. Check it out at
www.hinsonsupercars.com theyre putting one in an s14, and making swap kits available.
As for wether CA, KA, RB, or SR. Im going with CA or RB20, because I know people who own both, and the RB20 just has that sound that says "sex". That and ive gotten to drive it a little. Very smooth power delivery. The only reason I'm swapping, though is because my KA is dead, and I dont think it can be rebuilt.
