soulja, I pm'd you in an effort to assist via phone, and at my expense. I'm not a ZE guru but I'm sure I could have answered the majority of the previous Q's in 2 to 3 minutes. I could have also given you a list of various engine suppliers in GTA. I could have also put onto a number of GTA peeps that have recent dealings with engine swaps. That and a lot more could have been accomplished in about a 10 minute conversation. There is so much that can be covered that has already been stated numerous times before, and I really didn't see the point in typing so much out that has already been done before. Anyway, the invitation was there.

jschrauwen, when you come to pick up your bumper, we gotta talk about all this. I'll be in the market for a ZE very soon.
I checked out the Engine Land site...decent pricing on some things...then I came across this:

A KL-ZE w/a Ford valvecover on it???
Sorry, but that scares the s--- out of me. Pretty much black lists the company in my books.

Sure, no problem Mike. If you like a head start, contact Selecta from the Toronto Forum who's got some good contacts and fairly recently swapped in the ZE.

No one has said anything about body kits, but the main page has most of the sytles available for our cars. Also no company make a urethane body kit for our car. As for power go ZE, replace gaskets and water pump, belts and wear and tear sensors. This will get you close to 200 crank HP. J know his stuff so call him and he'll fill your head with plenty to get you started. Good luck
