Allegedly less understeer from the lighter renault ones, but no proof of that, and 1.7s are a bit more revvy, even if got less power.

the renault clio 16v engine as in the same as the clio williams, the williams engines fit too.
Nev has fitted a 16v engine on 40s in Sid's Volvo, goes very well too, from what I have heard.

Clio 16V, Williams, and Volvo 440 and 480 engines will bolt straight into a 1.7 340, all again with minor manifold messing about and sump swaps.
Volvo 740/760/940/960 2litre and 2.3 litre Turbo engines bolt straight into Volvo 360s with no work at all.
