There are lots of ways to resize pictures. Here is one way: http://www.lotuseuropa.org/LotusForum/index.php?topic=1379.0

I have a spare A7L turbo motor and told by the seller that came from the Turbo Fuego here in the US.
The bell housing from the 336 will not fit the A7L. The bell housing is a bit too shallow causing the pressure plate to contact the bell housing. You will need to find a deeper Renault bell housing or see if the clutch from the 336 will work.

thanks for posting the picture of my engine!
ok so that solves a mystery when i bought the car it had the original engine match numbers and the guy gave me the crossflow with it i noticed there was damages on the rear wing the guy told me its when they changed the engine so its probably he tried to put the crossflow and didnt work so i wont make the same mistake the 821 runs great and i have a few things to fix like adjusting the doors and changing the windscreen i have a new one came with the car im only missing the surround its a glued one so im shopping for that and if someone has a dustshield for the tranny it would be nice or else ill have to fab one

Calikid 66,
Welcome to the forum.
I normally take a pic with my phone and send it to my email , my phone asks ,what size , at that point choose something smaller than 1 mg, then save that image. When adding attachment direct your post to that location ,it will then load to site.

Yes, the 336 bell housing is shallow and you would have to fit the smaller 336 flywheel and clutch assembly to make it work. Some more info can be found in these pdfs:
