PM Fallguy - he might have some connections

I found a few of those engines in MN using www.car-part.com

I know of no 2.5 Probe engines for sale closer to the F/M area, assuming that's where you need the engine. How much do you want to spend?

i am up in Devils Lake ND, i am looking to spend around $900-1000 for a motor, i can get a JDM one out of canada for $700 with $360 shipping just thought i would look locally first.

I have an extra 2.2 from a probe GT if you're interested in that at all...

I agree Jared, send a PM to fallguy, he is our local Probe guru....don't let him talk you into a RWD Supra powered Probe though, he's kinda weird that way

Since this engine came in several vehicles you might have luck if you called local salvage yards. Are you able to pick up the engine to transport it home or do you require shipping? I'm looking on eBay Motors now just to give you some more options.

Keep in mind, if you order a KLZE there are at least 3 different intake manifolds. The one in this auction, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-MAZDA-KL-ENGINE-MILLENIA-626-MX6-FORD-PROBE_W0QQitemZ8047448379QQcategoryZ33615QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem , is not ideal for use in a Probe. It puts the throttle body in a different position, which will require modifications to make it work with your throttle cable. Plus it's not the ideal design for more power over your original KLDE engine.

thanks for the info i was looking at the motors on ebay but like you said there are different intake manifolds and i was not sure which one would work on my car or not. I can pick up or have shipped either way i guess. Once again thanks for the info.
