Anything is possible, but a V6 in a mk6 Escort is pushing it a bit.

Look for an RS2000 engine, still a few about.

its been done but upsets the handling due to all the weight over the front wheels on a relativley light car, an rs turbo engine would be cheaper and with a few relativley cheap mods would be faster as well
