Theroetically it's just a manifold and TB swap so far.

But if I need a KL to gain admittance to this post, then here's my KL:

the heads on a KL-DE are stamped KL01-101 and 1A1 and on a KL-ZE they are KL31-101 and 1A1, your K8 has K801-101 and 1A1 and on the KL motors there is a samp on the block that says KL

The intake manifolds are also different, the k8=curved neck with rounded runners, the klze= straight long neck with square runners or could be curved neck with squared runners. Also the kfze has a straight long neck with rounded runners. The klde has a short type straight neck with rounded runners.

I've finally got a decent pic of mine online. It's amazing how spotless it looks until you take a pic and the camera shows ALL the dirt. GRRRR Ah well, here's my ZE with the MS8 manifold
