Yes, apart from they both have 4 cylinders with a cast iron block and a cast aluminium head the similarities end there!
The Zetec and CVH share the same bellhousing bolt pattern. I assume the boxes should just bolt straight up to the block. Obviously we can't comment on the mounting and drive shafts/gear linkages as the US Escort is completely different in almost every way to our European cars. As long as the SVT Focus has a Zetec and not a Duratec engine then it should bolt to the engine with no problem. The Duratec has a Mazda bolt pattern. European Focus/Foci use bothe Duratec and Zetec.The newer cars use the Duratec.
Your SPI heads use a different rocker cover to our units. Ours have 9 bolts round the edge of the cover an bolt down to the head instead of the 3 central bolts on your pictures.
We have CVH's that don't produce peak power until after 7000 rpm. One of our tuners has produced a high power unit which revs over 8000 rpm.
Why is there no intercooler on the red car? It would benefit from one.
