Does anyone know how much work would be involved putting an R5 engine into a MK1 Clio?

Cheers

Id also be interested to know how difiicult it is to have a valver engine out and put back again.

not really that hard if your confident with the spanners.

I'm thinking about the dash/wiring etc as well as I know the R5 has a speedo cable but the clio would have an electronic one.

mk1 has a cable speedo. its a fairly plug and play afair really, just need all the bits from the R5.

Idealy get a whole R5 doner car.

Is it a fairly simple job?
