The axles are different. Not sure if they are completly necessary to swap over to the v6 or not though. I've heard mixed things.

Not to mention the suspension is different, the V6 has a rear swaybar and a larger front swaybar. Even though the struts/shocks are the same size (and aftermarket parts are identical for both cars as a result) the OEM springs and struts/shocks are different. The I4 cars have lighter springs and less damping (it's marked right on the springs, they use color codes).

I think I heard that the actual gauges should be swapped over. Not sure if it is entirely needed but hell it couldn't hurt.

i've seen 750 USD to 1300 USD...
also depends on what it comes with...
some sell automatic trannies with them...
others give you dizzy, alty, water pump, power steering, A/C compressors...

you will likely never get the ECU WITH the engine...nor the jdm 5 spd tranny

Like mx6dave said you will hardly ever get the ecu or the 5speed trans. with it. and if you do find a sight that it does come with it,its usually alot more. I bought my KLZE motor from japanracingengines.com the motor came with an automatic trans. which i took off and hooked up my 5speed trans. to it. It didn't come with the ecu either. All together i got mine for 1100. It was shipped out of canada to me in ohio so shipping for me was 300. It just depends on who you buy it from they are all different. You just have to check out alot of sights for your best deal.

I found that the cheapest way to get a KLZE is not a performance or racing shop but a JDM import wreckers. Just a regular wreckers that import their parts from Japan. I got mine for $850 AU (about $550ish US) with 6 months parts and labour warranty from a Jap import wreckers that sell only Jap OEM parts no aftermarket.

A performance shop in Sydney which i asked first wanted $2200 AU with 3 months warranty. ANother performance shop wanted $1800 AU.

yes, but the eprom may or may not work, check with the manufacturer according to your year.
But all you will need is the engine, and if it comes with accessories like the disty, alternator etc, then bonus for you.
you will also need an intake. You stock box filter will not fit with the KLZE straight neck manifold.
Everything bolts right up though.

im buying a KLZE already running with everything for $800. is this a good price? it has 40,000 miles on the engine so i think its a great deal. im planning on bolting up my tranny from my klde so i can keep my 5 speed. now everyone i know that knows stuff about cars said im getting into something i most likley cannot do myself. i keep hearing theres so many tools i need like air tools and other things. so do you think i could do this myself?

KL-ZE swap, ssautochrome headers, rr-racing STS, findaza 9lb flywheel, AWR poly motor mounts, Falken rubber, Borbet rims, PRD wires, CAI w/ K&N filter, more to list and more to come!

$800 is a good deal for the engine, especially if the mileage is a reliable number.

you can do this yourself if you're mechanically inclined and you can get the proper tools. having a few people to help is not a bad thing either. yes, having air tools will help tremendously.
