Is it possible? Certainly. Is it feasible? Probably not so much. You'll be restricted in engine size, especially as the 96 Maxima is a FF (Front-engine, front wheel drive) car, and will have a transverse engine (cylinders are aligned across, rather than front to back).
You'd have to find an engine that would fit in the engine compartment, and it would likely have to be an engine built for a FF layout vehicle, such as the 3.8 liter V8 used in some models of the Ford Taurus. Then, you'd have to be able to mate it to the transmission... either that would mean an adapter plate, or, more likely, you'd have to replace the entire transmission, as the factory transmission for the car is not rated for the increased horsepower and torque of a V8 engine.
The other option is to find a conventional, rear-wheel drive vehicle which you can fit the body of the Maxima onto. Even then, there'll be a lot of work required.
