I also have a similar engine, up and running a few years ago. It is believed to be an ex-works Renault Turbo engine from a car raced in the Swedish WRC, probably 1982. Fully functional and complete, but the fuel injection comes from the Volvo R-sport department and is no longer the correct Renault parts. Check the pictures, they will tell the story better. 1628 cc, long-throw Oettinger, but 1550 steel crank available.

Someone told me the cracked turbo housing that came with the engine is the same as used on the genuine ex-works Renaults. There is a SAAB turbo on the engine now, in working order. The cracked turbo came along some spare parts for the engine. Here are pictures of the old turbo housing:

Both engines are on 80 mm bore, I have a few spare Mahle 80 mm pistons. They are also both on long-stroke crankshafts, Oettinger and GAF/Farndon, probably.
Pictures from the Volvo Museum of the genuine Volvo 343 that was raced in the EC with P-I Walfridsson, Engseth etc:

As mentioned, the Volvo RC-engine has been on sale for quite a while on lesanciennes, so please make offers if the price in the ad, 6000 euros, seems steep. The Renault ex-works engine, well, make offers there as well. I have enclosed 100´s of pictures, so you can see the condition, but please ask for additional info. Everything is in Sweden, but I can easily arrange door-to-door delivery. Trying to raise funds for a rolling restoration of this, hence the sell-out:
It use to look like this, 40 years ago:
Swift response in English, for French I need help from my Bretagne friend....
Please contact me for phone number, ebay-alias etc, to confirm this is a "real" ad
