Default 400 series 1.7 turbo needed please help

hello everyone im a newbie to the forum life so may be a little rubbish.
I am trying to source a 400 series 1.7 turbo mainly require just the engine gearbox wiring harnes and some other bits and bobs.
The project i am undertaking is a engine conversion i am currently in the process of making a track day toy from a phase 1 renault clio and after much deliberating have decided to scrap the first plan of the renault 1.8 16v in favour of the 1.7 turbo. I understand that the block and a great deal else like driveshafts and two of the engine mounts are almost the same so the initial conversion will be pretty strait forward. the wiring and other items will have to be modified to fit but the chalenge is one of the reasons i have decided to take this route.
so here is my problem sourcing a phase 1 clio was very easy as every chav and his dog has one the hard part is the volvo half i have been scouring auto trader and ebay and other salvage sites and scrappys and have come up with nothing so have turned to forums for some much needed assistance like i said i mainly need the front end stuff but would be much happier to have a complete car as there are always odds and sods that you figure out you need when you dont have them idealy i would prefer a 440 as i have been told the gearbox in those is closer stacked and the final drive is 1 to 1 but would take any that are available body and inside state do not matter at all inside could be stripped if any one can assist or may have an idea where to look it would be great thanks for the help
