You already have a renner engine, but it's an older design than the ones in the 440s. Yours (and mine) are C series OHV engines, like they put it 5's and 9's, the 440s have F series SOHC engines. The 340 1.7s have an F series engine though, so with parts from one of those you can fit the 440GLT or lots of other engines.
Basically anything that fits a clio, 400 series, ren 19, laguna (not V6), or megane will go in with OEM parts.

Different bolt pattern AFAIK, could be wrong though.
