351 fit in to escort, Y/N

[cortina-mk1]

i think the major hurdle if fitting to a MK2 escort
will be the
ADRs

it will have ADR27a being a 79 onwards model
which means the engine fitted will have to comply to all emission controls of that car and its date of manufacture

also there is the new modification rule that came into play some months ago

regrading firewall modification

the rule says along the lines of ... no firewall modification can now be allowed... !

this ultimatley causes many problems for those wishing to fit V8s to smaller cars as the rule will make it none passable in a VASS situation

it would be first a good idea for you to check with a VASS engineer in your state for advise first
all this only applys if the car is going to be street registered
