Check the engine code. KLZE is a 2.5L V6. I'm guessing your code will say 99A, which is the base 4-cylinder. If that's the case, he screwed you because you didn't know what you were looking at.
All the Probes have "FORD" on the valve cover. My MX-6 has a plate held on by 2 screws, to have either the Mazda or Ford name on it. That's all.
You should have at least known what a KLZE is before buying it. It's a V6, pretty easy to spot the difference.
You'd have been better off buying a 1st gen GT. They can keep up with the 2nd gen GTs (the V6) and the GSR. But get a boost controller, and you're ahead, no problem.
You should try www.performanceprobe.com (has a chart of things to modify) to find any more info. Or www.mx6.com Or www.probetalk.com

Eh...didn't think I was being THAT helpful. all that info is on the performanceprobe.com website under engine swaps/upgrades.
Not that the 2.0 is a dog, but unless you mod it a lot, it's just the base engine.
