172 engine is the easiest. Its good and strong (well its warentied from Renault from new). Its a strgith swop but its litrally a swop the whole engine and dash out and the doner coar stuff in I'm writing a guide at the moment to doing it.

Its a fair bit of work and its never worth it at all you end up often spending as much as a cheap 172 can be bought for for the price you spend on parts.

Not worth it unless you know what your doign and DIY it 12 is easier realy. and more reliable.

BenR or Stan* could do it and if you thrown the money I'm usre they'd take it £6k or so your looking which even with the worst possible 172 conversion bills is still twice what a 172 conversion would cost.

The Volvo ideals been done before the recoent threads for the conversion have stopped I think the ideals been panned.
