Default Differences between blocks

I know this has proberly been asked hundreds of time.

Can someone tell me the differences between the escort rs turb block and fiesta turb block?
I know the fiesta has slightly better oil ways but what else?

Who told you that the oil ways were different?
This is news to me.
Ford 1.6 cvh blocks were all the same with a few minor changes - efi crank sensor holes,
and the turbo oil return fitting for turbo engines.
