Okay, I just got off the phone with a mechanic... he was sayin that I could get a safe 350bhp 5mge for around 2500, is he talking crap or what? Cuz from what you all say it sounds like it but I dunno, he knows more about cars than I do.

Chances are he gonna strap on a 150 shot of n20 onto it, and call it "Safe".

Like was said... Give this guy the money, get the HP garentee in writing, and get him to warrenty the work. 350 hp from a 5M won't happen on stock internals... and if it does, expect to have engine soup about 1000 miles down the road.
