F4rt in a Dacia Duster

I have purchased a series 1 Duster with the intention of installing the F4rt engine. I believe this will bolt in as the Duster was available with the F4r engine in other markets. I really want to retain the 4wd gearbox and that's where I have run out of info as to whether or not they will fit together. Any ideas? I think my gearbox code is JR5.
 
Jr5 "should" bolt to the F4r non turbo (172&182 engine) the later 6 speed block (meg225 197) is different but can be modified to suit.

If you find my Twingo f4rt thread you can see in there I drilled the block, swapped the flywheel and sump on a f4rt engine to fit a JR5 gearbox.

Id question if the 4wd could take the torque but defo interested in following the thread if you get that far (y)
 
It's all much of muchness tbh. Something will always be custom. If it were me, I'd be tempted to fit a 172 engine and prove it all. Then if it survives and works, turbo that.
