A mk2 will fit the engine but not the car. You used to be able to do a conversion.....

I remember reading an article on it years ago but can't remember the detail, but you could get a patch to weld in with a cut-out for the gearbox.

I've done this home made style, basically the 5 speed box is about an inch and a half longer so yes you need to cut chassis leg. No need to buy the kit if you're half competent with a weld set and a grinder.

Nooooo thats just a pic I use in my sig.... my escort cossie is hopefully 480bhp not the fez.
I got rid of my fez a while back as it was rusting on my drive and I felt guilty.
I do still have a panique bodykit though, same as the one in the pic
to go on my next fez.

I really want a mk1 again, but the missus has limited me to 1 car...and I can't say I blame her!
Mk1 with a bike engine and sequential box is my next car
