Default IS A FIESTA RS BLOCK THE SAME AS AN ESCORT?

Just wondered if a fiesta RS Turbo block is the same as an Escort RS Turbo?

Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Cheers
Dave

It would be a bit of a nightmare with the CPS - probably easier fitting the RST pistons into a EFI block, and drilling an oil return somewhere. You'll need to keep the FRST head due to port shapes.

the heads are differant, but you can put a FRST block straight into
an ERST, but as stated above, putting an ERST block into a fiesta
would be a pain in the arse because of the crank sensor.
