no it doesnt work
the mark 4 gear box cradle bolt's to the front crossmember. which bolt's in a different place to a mark 3
you can put a mark 3 gear box in a mark 4.but not the other way round
if you want a 5 speed box. one out of a mark 5,6,7 escort will fit

You would need the mk4 crossmember and more painfully, makes bolting points for it to the mk3 chassis. The RS1600i roll bar sits further forward than others possibly giving more room for the crossmember mounting.
