I don't see why not buddy!

There's loads of people done this conversion on mk1/2 escorts, capri's etc so theres kits out there for spinning the engine around to make it rwd

Not 100% sure if you can buy mounts but fabing a set up shouldn't be too much of a problem

Off the top of my head you'll need a new water rail (theres a company makes them, can't remember who )

and I'm sure a type 9 or mt75 will bolt streight up (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong people)
