Motor swap to a K8ZE

Post by 93' blackmx3 »

I was wondering if any one could help me out. I was wondering how difficult it is to do this swap and I was wondering what parts I will need like new ecu, trany, ect. If anyone has any information please e-mail me at SNOOP753@aol.com. Thank you very much.

just swap the motors, its the same as doing a KL KFZE or KLZE, you may need an ECU, but woth that motor.. you may can use your stock ECU.
Why not get a more beefy motor?

I don't have much money to play with. But will the trany and all that stuff line up or will I need a new trany, ecu, or any of that stuff?

You need ALOT more than just those two, basically an entire front clip, mounts, harnesses, ect..

I didnt notice before that you had a 4cl.

swap in a 1.8 bp dohc 4cyl, about the same hp, and a lot easier.
