Never had a Mazda, but I've been told the rotary engines run like striped-ass apes...the higher they wind the more they wanna go. I understand overhauls are a problem, though.

The 350 Chevy was stuffed into about every Chevy car imaginable, muscle cars and otherwise once it went into production and became popular. In small block classes it was 10 to 1 the engine of choice in race cars at dirt tracks around the country for I don't know, 30 yrs probably? Be hard pressed to find an engine more used than that one IMO.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.

When people say side oiler they probably are thinking of the 427 cammer.
Lots of other ford blocks were side oilers.

Lots of other ford blocks were side oilers. There were OHV versions of the FE side oiler block before the SOHC engines. Look at the link I provided.
