Nope, floor pans are different. You can mod Escoet seats into a Fiesta but not the other way.

You may be able to strip the runners and refit the ones from your original Escort seats. I can't say for certain as I've not done it

FRST seats front mounting is on the vertical axis straight into a box section supporting the seat. On the mk4 Escort the front mounting is on the horizontal axis through a tab hanging from the runner into the supporting box section.
