Lets get it right....
Ok... I have searched this forum and many others and have found very many inconclusive answers regarding the 2.5 KL swap. I have been told its bolts in with the correct parts, and I have been told it cant be done (which obviously isnt true). So, what is needed to do it???? I know one needs various parts from the MX3
GS (subframe and crossmember)..... but what else is there besides that and the engine itself???
Thanx a whole bunch for any help!!!!

good documentation on this stuff is hard to find, although i must give kudos to GroHarlem and mazdaspeedwest for all the efforts they've documented over the years.

I will prolly go with the ZE just cuz the BPT needs alot of other things to run properly... and the ZE just needs it's ECU. But anyway.... I will most def take more pics than I can stand to look at and get them up on a sight so all can do it too. The reason I am going to do this myself regardless of what it takes is cuz I live way to far from A-Spec to get a car to them.

(from an MX3 GS, 626/MX6 w/KLDE or KLZE swap to a BG chassis)
engine w/harness
transmission
ECU
lower crossmember
lower control arms
struts, strut mounts
axles and intermediate shaft
spindles, rotors, calipers
things like throttle cable, heater hoses, other vacuum hoses, A/C, etc are yet to be known by me. Although if i ever decide to move out of class racing, then i'll have detailed info, as it's a high possibility for a SM (street mod) car....but thats not for awhile
If i had a working URL, i'd post it, but Aspec in Toronto does these swaps alot, they have/had info on their site regarding parts and cost, was quite reasonable too.
Cost between the BPT and the KLZE are not much different, but the KLZE may be a bit more, depending on the donor parts cost.
