Yes, it might resolve the issue. I kept mine at the original position too.

The biggest pain in the **** was the engine mount. It's not the same on a mk3 as on a mk4 and it's hard to make the mounting rubber clear the oil pump/filter. Early 80-83 Escort CVH engine mounting rubber will work but they are hard to find as new.

You need to decide what exactly it is you want to do, as some stuff will be a problem and some wont (eg, front breather is ok with a focus rs manifold setup)..
