This covers most of the options

I haven't mentioned an '85 directly but the options are pretty much the same as for the '77 RA29.

Adding a heavy engine too far up front will screw up your handling.
Avoid 6 cylinder engines and cast iron V8 engines unless you can cut out the firewall and relocate the whole engine way back.

A modified 22R engine is the best bet for reasonable cost.

The other engines can be done but might be a bit complicated for your first engine swap.
