fsde is the normal 2.0 323 engine will run on super gas and will net around 130 hp crank and 135 ft lbs tq and around 95-110 wheel hp

fsze is the 2.0 engine that needs premium since it has higher compression, more aggressive cams and a better tuned intake manifold that nets around 170hp crank 130 ft lbs tq and around 140 wheel hp

zlve is the 1.5 with svt, its has 130 hp crank and around 100 ft lbs tq and around 95-105 hp wheel hp

Unless its the fsze you are upgrading to, I will stay with the zlve, its a nice lil revvy engine.

As for your questions, the axles are different, I believe all the mounts are the same, crossmember is the same as well.

Question.... so if i change out my engine from a z5 (in a BH) to a zl or fs, what else would i have to change out, axle and stuff to?
