150-11451 Bridgeport Road, Richmond, BC. Canada V6X1T4

I have been looking at the 2.5L KLZE they have for $750... Then i called today and they said $650 so i was like sweet.

Basicly these are my problems:
1) Parts i will need for my Swap?
2) Who or How will i Swap?
3) What problems am I looking for on this KLZE (Wear/Tear) Before I Buy it?
4) Any info that will help me...

Thanks.

I have recevied about 3 motors from these guys, the first one being not as clean as I hoped internally (I sent back) Second one I got was a straightneck that was pretty clean internally, and my newer mx and the last engine was a DE with ZE IM (my fault, I didnt check head codes) but the motor is exceptionally clean. I highly suggest that you go in there and choose a motor and buy it, then you will at least know that you picked the motor and that it is a true KLZE if that is what you want. Just remember the head codes WHICH i FORGOT TO DO(kl31-1a1 and kl31-101 - not kl-101 and kl1a1).

The owner shoaib is real slick so be careful, dont let him talk you into anything. Another option for you, since you are in the Vancouver area is nagasaki motors in Richmond. They sell curved necks for about 700 bucks, 900$ is to much for a ZE nowadays, even if its a straight neck. Check the link:

I bought my ZE from these guys also. Although I think I came out alright, I still don't really like them. The guy is really slick just like solo said. After shipping and all the bulls--- charges they throw on top I ended up spending $1200 on my motor.

I believe it is a straight but i will check on that,

I'm going to go look at it soon and i was just wondering what i should look for and watch out for?
And what problems/upgrades will i have to worry about if i do upgrade to a KLZE?

Updated the Tittle of this topic and the info.

Thanks.

Looks like you'll have to coax Solo_Ryder into a weekend adventure...

Haha if you pay me well and provide me with some woman I may have to make a weekend trip :)

HAHA

BTW, that price is most likely for a curve necker, the straights usually go for 800 give or take from them. I called them about it once. If you want top performance go with the straight neck, but you will need to find a curve neck IM (lots floating around)

PM me man and I will help you make up a list of parts and what not that you will need.
