Default I need an opinion on a new engine

I currently have a 1993 mustang LX with a 4 cylinder engine.
i need help on deciding the best engine i could swap with that to give it a lot more HP because my car now is basically weak. i want to soup it up and make it fast. but i need help on deciding what engine would fit in the best.
Any Suggestions. thanks in advance

big block ford or chevy. Chevy is cheaper because you can get good used chevy parts everywhere. A 5-600 CI BBC with a 3-400 shot of sauce is the best thing you could do.

well i plan on making this car into a monster in the future but it needs a lot of work done to it. the engine has 180K miles on it now so i was looking to swap it with a more powerful one. and i would be willing to spend 5,000-6,000 to get a new engine a transmission maybe change it from automatic to manual trans. its a work in progress. does anyone have any good websites i can go look on for cheap engines and like body kits or anything. just good websited in general. thanks
