hey well can any one tell me if the clio's V6 and the espace are PVR's with a set of 24 valve heads or are they a totally new engine/ other engine.

Apparently they are both new engines:

right well aftera bit more reserch ive found that the origional PRV (PVR) engine is a 90 degree block cut down from a V8 design. In the early 90's PSA and renault redesigned the enginge to produce the ES9, a 60 degree block, as they were struggling to fit the PRV in FWD cars.

Now if any one has a clue if the bell housing bolt holes and spacing from an ES9 will fit on a PRV bell housing.

Another route to the desired aim is that the B6304FT is used in the Volvo 960, and S80, The S80 is also equipt with the T5 but does it share the bolt spacing.

If you have a I6 volvo please could you measure the dimensions of the unit.

Thanks

One of the Renault-Alpine forums say that the new engine and the PRV are not swapable without spending lots of money to get one off parts made.

I'm a bit confused as to what your trying to do here.
Please explain and then I may be able to help.

Cheers
