One piece of advice for you, The rear Escort boot floor horizontal line measuring upward verticaly to the arch at 12 O'clock is about 20-25mm higher than a Sierra floor to arch. IMO the diff needs to be mounted as close to the floor line as possible, so that your shafts are angled downwards rather than horizontal or angled up, Also by doing this i've found that the rear camber is not excessively negative.
Hopefully when i launch the car hard the tires will be more square to the road giving better traction. 4x4 may not be so much of an issue but mines RWD aswell and i want to drove it as hard as i can, so traction is GOOD

Have a look at my thread mate, there are loads of photo's on there explaining my reasoning for this, Bad shaft angles can cause CV joint failier.



Good luck with the build anyway, It'll be defo worth it
