I think the problem might be that Renault have rebadged the S40 engines they use in the lagunas as F series engines. Basiclly all the volvo 440 engines fit, as does the F8Q Diesel engine (Which i have a bottom end sat here from) All the F3 series engines are Renaults 8 valve versions of the 440 engines so they fit and the F7P as used in clios and 19's fits, As does the F7R used in the clios and meganes. Although ideally you dont want to run the renault EDIS system it eats coil packs.
All the Engines that fit are labeled in the F series of engine. They all share the same gearboxes so they will bolt in at least. However there will be modification or all to fit.

Yeh by wrapping the exhaust as Jason said it keeps the heat from the exhaust within the pipes, hence reducing engine bay temp. The downpipe will get wrapped aswell.
Anyways more pics. Manifold roughly bolted on. Very pleased with the way it came out. First time i have wrapped an exhaust.

TBH at this moment in time i havent checked, i cannot see it being a major problem, the sump didnt touch the pump without a gasket on there, and so now with a gasket and sealant i shouldnt have a problem. I am also running a 1.7 turbo oil pump on mine.

Good work Adam,
I have been thinking about popping a 16 v head onto my 2ltr bottom end but not made my mind up yet about what to do.
What are your plans for a clutch?

Right the engine is sat in the bay, hopefully will fire her up on Tuesday. As usual loads of pics to come. Whilst the engine was out, i painted the engine bay to tidy it up.

Well here it is. I painted the engine bay while the engine was out and sorted all the wires from all the accesories i have added. Hopefully should fire her up later with no exhaust. I will also put some pics up of the polished inlet manifold too, it took me an ab age to do. Anyways enjoy.
