Clio mk1 1.1 to 1.816v

[Jaymzfc]

Hi Guys, first post so here goes.
I'm from Malta so getting parts is'nt easy i generally pop over to the UK and ship stuff over. (You might ask why dont i just buy a ready williams or 16valver well we have a 75% tax on older imported cars)
I'm currently in the proccess of coverting my 93 mk1 1.1 into a 1.8 16v, i got most of the interior sorted and on the way is a 18.16v engine with gearbox. i have all the wiring loom, dials, ecu etc etc the engine is coming with engine mounts/gearbox/driveshafts.
Already fitted are the front discs and rear discs.

Now here's the question.
Will i be able to drop the thing right in or will i have issues???

Any help or advice would be great guys

tks
James

As said above m8, just wiring issues and the usual hands getting cut to pieces :roll: :lol:

Just get it in there ;). if there is any wiring issues they can be sorted. Easy enough.

The engine isnt coming with a subframe could i use the one off the 1.1 ??

will the drive shafts match the hub from the 1.1??

will i need to change the front suspension units???
