Default kangoo van engine conversion?????

Im not sure this is the right place(being a ford forum etc) but has anyone ever done an engine conversion on a renault kangoo van?Im sure there was someone on here doing something similar,can anybody point me in the right direction?I use the van for general running around and towing the track bike so i thought it would be a good little toy with a decent engine fitted.
Cheers

agreed with darren, had a few on hire and they are seriously shite, drove a 1900 dci which iirc had 120 bhp it was quite possibly the scariest situation i have ever been in, motorway, 75 mph, gust of wind and it all over the place, transit connect, much better.

but if you do want to try go on the retro renault forum and ask chris h he is a renault know all, any question he has the answer and is always right annoyingly lol.....iirc the kangoo engine bay is very similar to the clio so i would think a clio 1800 16v and williams engine will go in with out much bother
