Can be made to fit but not a easy job. Will need drive shafts and new mounts.

Best and easiest box to us would be S2 RS Turbo box so you have LSD.

Any mk4 Escort box and shafts will fit though...your 4spd box, shafts and starter will work fine although not ideal!

Can't remember exactly but you will prob have to change clutch and maybe flywheel but the box bolts straight on.
