Hey, I have just picked up my 5gtt engine to put into my 340. I read on here a while ago off the parts that were need to change e.g coooling system, pipe for the sump but i cant find it anywhere. any help would be much appreciated Cheers Joe

If your car is a 1.4 then you will have all the relavant parts to swap over.

it's pretty much a straight forward swap; ideally you want to start with a mk3 340 (MY86 and later) for the strongest engine support and larger space in the front

use the 340 sump, all belt-driven parts from the 340 (incl crankshaft pulley) with it's mountings; make sure you swap the Renix for the Renault 5's RE208 or even better the RE209 one

the only real problem is the exhaust manifold; this is a custom job since placing the turbo the GTT way (behind the engine) won't work that well in a 340, ideally you want a custom setup with the turbo next to the engine. if you can weld this isn't that much of a deal though, i'm currently on my way to building a stainless steel manifold for mine.
