New engine help (more power)

[hydrolastic]

Looking at the option of building a hybrid i decided it was eisier to go KLZE. I have a line on a complete engine. I am now trying to figure out what to do for ECU and the VAF and if the KLDE distributer will work (I have the external coil mod) More questions to come that are not covered by the KLDE to KLZE info thread.

First question's are, I have an extra set of KLDE cams. Can i send them off for regrinding now and install them in the KLZE or do i have to use the KLZE cams? Also looking at doing the valve retainer swap. Do the KLZE's use the HLA's and if they do. what is entailed to do a SLA swap?

Yes you can use the DE disty cap you have on the ZE, i assume there is no issue getting your DE cams reground to whatever spec, im sure most people would rather retain ZE cams than DE cams. HLAs on the intake side of the ZE are larger then the DE so id just keep your ZE HLAs and clean them. Dont know much boit the SLA swap sorry. Yeah use DE retainers and even springs.

I am using a DE disty everything else ZE, so just hookup your mods the way they are once the engine is in. I'd try it out as a complete ZE first. The only thing I might change is the IM, for fun, and just to compare them. Reminds me I've got to port that klg4 manifold

Good luck with the swap. I may have to go to a ZE someday too. We're dangerously close to winning class B in Lemons ( two PUY penalties stopped us from winning B at our last race ), and if that happens, we'll need more power to compete in class A.
