hi im a newbe member. iv a few questions about an engine swap on a 1.4 340. basically im a renault enthuast normally and just got a complete rotter of a 340 as a rear drive project. i already have a 1.8 16v f7p engine with a ecu and throttle bodies ready to go and want to know what i need to fit it to the volv. ie engine mounts, box and clutch options. the 1.4 is a reno engine so i guess the bell housing will fit. but which clutch and fly wheel do i use? any information would be greatly appreciated thanks

clutch, coolant pipes, engine mounts, bellhousing from a 1.7 340.
quick forum search will bring up full info dude.

welcome to the forum too mate.

thanks. but what is different about the bell housing as the renault stud pattern is the same on both engines

Youve got me there dude.
I dunno.
Just know it needs swapped.
Im sure someone thats done the conversion will be along soon to explain in greater detailz.

the 1.4 engine in the volvo is similiar i believe to the C1j engines as in the renault 5s ( i think c1j is the engine code)

where as the 1.7 code: b172 is the same as the f series of engines. so you need the 1.7 parts, because the 1.4 parts are smaller.
