Buying probe motor

[aggressivemx]

hey i can get a probe gt that was wrecked in the back when it still ran perfect. the guy told me he would give it to me for $300. is there any reason for me not to get it if i plan to do a full rebuild. how much power can i get out of the probe engine?

not sure what year, its the last gen though, 2.5v6

what is the engine code on that motor

You can get as much power of of a KLDE as a KLZE. New intake cams and Millenia intake manifold with phenolic spacers should put you right there.

I wouldnt go that far. The ZE still has bigger ports in the head and 10:1 compression.

dude grab it, you getting whole engine and wrecked car right? swap engine and part out rest of car, thats a deal dude, even for just engine $300 is pretty good

Yes, it does. But a heavily modded KLDE can get to stock KLZE levels still. Now if you did the same mods to a KLZE as a KLDE, the KLZE would definitely make more power. Just saying 200 HP at the crank is doable on the lesser engine.
