in a word, 'no'
The block is different, the escort being rwd mounts on the sides of the block, the fiesta mounts on a cradle and beside the thermostat housing.
When you do eventually find a fiesta xr2 xflow, you will need the xr2 crossmember and driveshafts also as the 1.6 711m xflow is about an inch longer than the 0.9/1.1 Valencia engine you have.

The head will be worth having and should fit and if race spec should be big valve but make sure it is a late engine with a flat head or will mess up compression ratio also it may have the unleaded seats which would be a bonus even the xr2 x-flow will be for leaded may save some money in long run
