Hi there and welcome I would start with the suspension, brakes, exhaust, alloys and air fillter that would be a good start. next I would be getting the car handling properly and start looking at parts that will cope with extra power from whatever engine you choose. Engine wise there the good old 1.8/2.0 zetecs I believe these fit into the escorts quite easily and are quite easy to tune, theres the I4 engines out the RS2000's I believe they fit in quite easy but are not so easy to tune. other options you could consider is the cvh turbo out the rst's, the 1.7 puma engine or a duratec but I have no idea how easy these would be to fit to your mk6/7 escort. hope this helps mate
