yes.. considering doing a hybrid using my F7P head (possibly with different valves) and an F7R-7?? (megane lump) bottom end..
i stumpled on the above mentioned 2.0 8v F3R megane engine from a totalled car (engine is good tho).. question is, is the bottom end the same on both the F3R and the F7R? |

bottom end is totally different chet used to have pics, if you welded up the deck face of the f3r and then machined the drain holes into the weld then you could make it workj once you bored it to accept 16V pistons. |

so basically, the gallery holes on the F3 bottom end don't line up with the ones in the F7 head!?
is the bore size on the F7R (~82,6mm) larger than the F3R then? |
