I currently have a 1987 mazda 323, of which I need to replace the engine. The engine that normally comes in a 1987 mazda 323 only produces 103 hp, and I am in need of more power than that, so I don't want to get the same type of engine it currently has. My question is: What kind of engine can I put in that 1987 mazda 323 that is able to produce more power than it currently has?

You won't find a 'stock' replacement motor that will fit in that car, mate with the transmission/transaxle and hook up to the existing wiring harness.  Your best bet would be to rebuild the motor with aftermarket parts - possibly with a turbo setup.  You should get with your local SCCA racing group or try out some rally/import tuner sites.
