KL = 2.5L (MX-6, 626, Probe, Telstar V6)
KF = 2.0L (AstinaV6, Eunos 500)
K8 = 1.8L (Eunos 30X)

There's some interesting info on the Mazda K series V6 engines here. Hope this helps.
unsure what Mazda did but the Eunos 500 got 2kw less than the Aus astina
Must be down to someting like emission control
The ZE motor never made it to Australia in any form but there are some lucky examples in NZ
