Default Turbo Ka Help needed!!!

Got what i was informed to be a mk5 escort RST engine to put in my Ka at the weekend, but turns out its a mk3 engine.

Not properly clued up on this, but from what we've found the engine wont bolt onto the current Ka box, and the engine mounts are totally different to that of the Ka.

Now, from the research i did, there are three mounts, two on the box, one in the engine bay on the O/S.

Seems none of these lines up what so ever for some reason as all the mounts are in different places.
Question, was there a difference in the mountings between a mk3 and a mk5? Or am i just being a dimwit and missing something blatently obvious?

I have been given, literally everything to do this conversion with, but was going to stick with the standard Ka box.

Any help would be appreciated as i'd rather not sell the engine and go back to a standard Ka engine
