    my 97 escort lx station wagon KLZE swap project.

    hey everyone. im new to the forums. was told by jinx to hop on here to setup a project thread. was told not many people do kl swaps in 3rd gen escorts, especially wagons.

    as of right now, the motor is sitting in my garage partially torn apart waiting to get all the gaskets and seals replaced. motor has 80k on it as of right now. for the next few days the motor will be taken apart even more to finish replacing the gaskets and seals.

    once our backup car is back in our posession from repairs. i will be starting the swap. so hopefully in the next week or 2 it will be getting done. motor also came with a highly tuned MS1 v3.0. aftermarket headers ( cant remember what they said they were called). has a 6 puck racing clutch with only 200 miles on it also has a ram air intake with a k&n filter. it came out of a 323, has 172 whp according to the dyno they took it on. cant remember how much torque.

    please bear with me, this is my first time ever experiencing anything this big with a motor or any vehicle. but i am loving it and cant wait to learn more.

    i was told some of you would be very interested in this swap.


    this is the wagon that the KL will be going into......
