Are you talking about the straight neck KLDE or straight neck KLZE?
The DE will bolt right up with no modifications.
The KLZE will require the master cylinder to be relocated or modified as in the photo below.
Since the flow differences between the KLZE (modifications required) and the Millenia (curved neck, square ports on the runners) are minimal, I'd recommend using the Millenia IM. Also, the VRIS points of the Millenia IM are very near to the KLDE, so using the KLDE ECU means you retain good torque across the powerband.
'90 Mazda 323 - V6 KLDE, supercharged, right-hand drive, build log
'93 Ford Probe GT - a few mods...
10.24 @ 139.5 mph [16 psi] - Timeslip
490whp, 447 wtq @ 20psi - Dyno sheet

he's got a straight neck ZE manifold... so i guess we're going back to the junkyard to gank an intake mani off one of the 3-4(!!) millenia's they had there.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI
... The first FWD BG with a Toyota E153 transmission conversion in the USA!
