302 is considered a small block, based on its physical size.

This is one of my good friends' Mazda and it has a Dodge 360 in it. He also runs a set of my tube arms on it, not that it affects the motor by any means just another shaimless plug, lol.

Nall Chris...you make a good point. Big Block or small block....either will be significantly heavier than the stock 2.2. I good beefy set of uppers and lowers wouldn't hurt....

i would stick with the mazda theme and put in a built up rotary engine, a guy i know in the phoenix area put one in a mazda truck (pre-sundowner) and is estimating the hp at the wheels around 235hp. It may not sound like much but take into consideration the weight factors vs a SBC or SBF compaired to the weight of a wankel engine
