As for gearbox you need to use a mt75 that mates up to the v6 the rwd versions of these are quite rare compared to the 4x4 versions you can get from a 2.9 xr4x4.

The rear beam from the scorpio may fit (the 3door sierra cosworth used the granada item), but it all depends on how much ford changed it over its life. Seeing as the scorpio has a wider rear track than the escort, which had a wider rear track over the sierra I wouldn't be surprised to find some differences.

The front suspension of the bug eye scorpio was improved over the earlier granada/sierra/escort setup as it uses a lower wishbone, so the front cross member and anti-roll bar are different over the escort, however it would be worth while trying to get this to work.
