if both silvertops, should think so, as many do the oposite swap when installing a escort engine in a Mk3 fiesta

I'm doing the exact same conversion at the moment.
1800 from the Fiesta is the way to go. If it's an RS1800 one, it's more powerful too. Look for an 'SO' or 'HO'
stamped on the back of the inlet manifold - HO is the 'high output' version.
Mk6 Escort has the plastic inlet manifold, which I suspect won't fit in the mk3 bay, but I'll find out pretty soon. You'd need to
use the alloy one from the Fiesta or earlier Escort.
