As for the engines, I just thought that RWD and FWD were mounted differently and that there was a hell of a lot of work involved in putting an FWD engine in a RWD car.
Yes, on both the R5 and Clio engine, they need new turbo manifolds (otherwise the turbo sits in the heaterbox!) and like wise, on the Clio enigne, the throttlebody it right up against the wiper linkage.
Water hoses need adapting, engine mounts etc, exhaust..
