It's been discussed many times, it's not a KLZE, but a a KJ-ZEM, 2.3L Miller-Cycle supercharged engine. There are 2 main issues with this engine, first is height, it's farily tall and you'll need to customise the hood, and secondly, it only comes in automatic, so their specilation if a manual will bolt up to it.
FYI, the KJ is designed around the supercharger, it's actually part in how that engine works, it's designed for efficienty, not a sports car. I believe they say it's suppose to give the the fuel economy of a 2.0L, while the power of a 3.0L. No one had attempted it as far as I know.

I believe whats being asked is if it will bolt onto this persons klze not if the engine will fit.

Nope it will not bolt on to your KL.
The runners are weird shaped and everything is COMPLETELY different.
