Buying a crate engine
That 94-97 block 351 you picked out has the best potential. It is a roller block so that is a big benefit. It will yield far greater torque than the 320HP 302 will. It all depends on what you want out of the engine. If you want it to rev like a sports car get the 302, if you want to tow or have decent power no matter the rpm get the 351. Just keep in mind there will be a little extra expense with the 351.

Buying a crate engine
I was looking at all that engine came with and holly cow, its loaded!! Talk about turn key. Unfortunately I don't think I can afford it right now
Pastmaster, yesturday I saw a 275HP 350 with warranty and all for 1500. And to top it all off that 275HP was made at 4600rpm. It just makes you sick.

The mazda tranny you have won't take any more than 300ft-lbs w/o crying so you better think about a tranny swap before bolting in a strong engine.
