Hi Fitch,
basically it´s same effort like a 1,6e conversion, i think you can keep your gearbox, as this engine uses also jb1 and the starter is also located at the rear. The ratios will fit also quite well.
I think only one thing might become tricky:
The airfilter housing at the top of the engine. May be it´s too high and big and you need to replace it by the plunger of e.g. the Clio/R19 1.8 88hp engine (F3P with single point injection)...

...and install an external filter housing. Or perhaps a open cone filter at the top of the engine, but I think this is also illegal in israel and will reduce power due to hot air sucking.
regards
