Looking to buy an Engine
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I need to buy an engine. Either Reman or rebuilt, don't really know whats best. Can anyone help me find the best website (mazmart, etc) to order it from?

"Best" is subjective.
Mazmart's price is typically the lowest, but getting a custom built one from Pettit, Pineapple, BNR, BHR, etc... would be a "better" engine from a number of other perspectives.

Not really...I been driving the car knowing that the engine might be done but still fires up and drives fine, only issue is the warm hot start, after a while driving it it takes a while to start back up and it starts very weak. Mazda also told me i might need to replace the spark plugs, wires and coils.

Why not just replace the ignition system first and then get a compression test, rather than dropping thousands of dollars for a new engine based on assumption. If you're in NY id say take a look at IRPerformace in NJ. Heard nothing but good stuff about him and he also sells Mazda remans according to his website.
