Being that you went through 2 head's in that short amount of time, you probly have a cooling system problem that is'nt showing up. The sensor for your temp gauge on your dash is located on the heater core hose, so if the heater core flow is restricted, the temp gauge will read cold, even if the engine is over heating.

The KL V6 swap is complacted and requires a lot of parts. Here is more info

If you want a swap that is cheap and easy, I'd suggest the 2.0 SPI swap, not as powerfull as the KL, but a hell'of a lot easyer for a LX owner and less costly.
