This is my KLZE. She is beautiful.

What a great feeling to finally get your first ZE. Congratulations. I paid $900 for mine and I even picked it up. I’m not going to complain though. It’s the nicest engine to drive that I’ve ever owned. This is what the MX-3 should have been all along.

Thanks wyt! And I'm glad to hear that. Hopefully all goes well with no surprises.

Congrats man. Do all the maintenance you can with the lump out, so easy when it's just sitting there! May I also recommend checking the condition of the threads where the intermediate shaft bolts on, they love to strip.

Unless you have a reason to touch the intermediate shaft I'd leave it alone. If you do find the threads stripped no probs. 7/16th is the next size up and it's a 20 min fix to drill and tap.

Intermediate shaft? Are you talking about the tranny?

now, if only I could find one layin around in the northwest for a reasonable price... 750 seems to be the goin rate at all the importers... I was hopin for less but, i'm starting to get anxious

750 where?

[Stonefly]

Northern Idaho... Foreign Engines was where I found it... They may list it for more but, honestly these importers can be bargained with...

This is really good, but I never seen a ZE from a FORD.,,,,, mayb it was preswapped b4???? Looks like a millenia ZE with EGR system. I hope it was preswapped for a FORD

It was, from a probe most likely. It's just the ford valve cover.
