Default Fiesta fitment Gearbopx into Mk3 Escort.......

Good mate of mine is building a Zetec turbo Mk3 Escort Cabby and has hit a snag. He got a CTS Fiesta gearbox and is wanting to fit this to his car. There are apparently issues with mounts. Can anytbody shed any light into the differences and as to whether it's possible

IIRC he'll have to fit the end casing from a mk3 or mk5 box to it so he has the mounting holes for the 2 support arms.

The mk3 & mk5 are the same fitment, sod's law that the mk4 and Fiesta's were different.
