If you want to be period correct a Toyota R or T engine like the 2T or 20R would be appropriate and they should drop in no problem. Unfortunately engines like those are almost 30 years old so finding 1 in pristine condition might be a problem.
Something newer like a 3SGE or a 4AG could also work but I have no idea how hard or how easy they would be to put in.

since the 76 is a rwd and they hae a longer engine bay, i would also look into the 2jz-gte swap. that would be a mean swap. it may cost more, but you wouldnt get the power from any of those other swaps that you would get from the 2jz swap.
