Im not doing the swap i donno how
how i got a shop thats going to do it for me
$1500 for the motor & labour
however i might get a new tranny as well.. probably clutch too depending on how much more it'll come up to
so i can do it any time because they'll be doing it

in that case what do u recommend? and also what type of tranny you guys using with your klze?

That's a good deal! You can use the stock tranny with no problems, or you can use a 626, since it has a taller final drive, and 5th gear. You definitely need to upgrade the clutch, though.

Keep in mind this is Canadian currency too, so for you imperial dogs, it translates to $1,217.05 credits

Easier to do a search, lots of posts on clutches, then you decide.

Ya, there's volumes of information for clutches on KL swaps....

Think of it this way...you're clutch is designed to handle 115ft-lbs of torque...and a KL makes 165. Unless you decided to take it easy and drive it like a K8, which would defeat the purpose of a ZE, than no, it'll last weeks or months, depending on how hard you are on it. Even the Probe/Mx-6 owners don't recommend an OEM Mazda DE clutch on their DE's if you plan on doing more than just easy daily driving.
