I've used E6J engine from R19 (1.4 energy engine with Weber carb), so I had a lot less work with wiring and other electrics.
It doesn't matter which engine do you use.. ..it can be E6J or E7J or even K7M (1.6 8v megane/Senic engine.. ..thats what I'll swap in my car) all this engines will fit in 5 with no problem. You use existing both gearbox mounts, all you need to do is modify front engine mount (you can use front engine mount of C-type engine); you'll need to relocate holes for bottom two bolts on mount and aprox. 30mm spacer for top bolt (this spacer will be between engine mount and engine block). Thats about it...
Than you need water radiator, expansion tank and all water hoses from Clio or R19 (but some of hoses from R19 are to long, so you'll have to cut them).
I've used exhaust donwpipe for Clio 1.4 (with no cat) which alignes perfectly with stock "catback" exhaust.
You can use all engine electrical installation from C-type engine...
Ahh well, external pump, 2 connectors then it goes into the fuel filter, you'll also have to remove the fuel filter (use the one on the engine after the pump).
I have some 5 engine mounts etc also got a base spec (no tacho) e6j engien loom here.
