Drop in a JDM KLZE engine for it. It's from the JDM Mazda MX6 and will drop right into the Probe with not that much trouble.

Also I put in a new clutch and throwout bearing in my ZC today, it was easy as shit.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the probes built by Mazda?

The Probe/MX6 was basically the same car. However I know my brothers MX6 has a Mazda engine, I think the Ford has a Ford engine. I'm not sure if they are the exact same thing with a different logo on the valve cover or what. If I had to swing one way I would assume they are Mazda made because Mazda/Japan=Smaller cars, Ford/America=big cars and trucks.
