I'd imagine so - the 1.7 is the same basic block as the 1.7 340. Though you'll run into the usual difficulties with the higher power and turbo versions.

It's spelt Renault

Are we talking about the 21 Turbo? I don't know regarding fitment, but I can definitely tell you that it's not the same engine as the F2n family in the Volvos. I think a Renault 21 Turbo is the one French car I'd seriously consider owning. Rare, pimp, and...er...more pimp.

cheers

I almost bought one of them (R21 Turbo) when I was in uni. Would have been very stupid if I did, but what a nutty car!! Its actually on my list for my next car along with a few other over powered eighties/nineties cars

Yes, they are indeed pretty tasty.

As part of the original post - what Renault 21 engine were you precisely thinking of - there are a few?

turbo of corse

As far as I'm aware, it's not a bolt-in. I'd stick to the 400 series turbo lump.

cheers
