If you cant decide you could always put both in...

hi mate ive had quite alot of experience with the rs turbo side of things, if this was something that i was doing id use the escort engine with the fiesta management system,

mfi system for the escort will only stand about 300bhp thats at a big big push too where as the efi fiesta system will stand up to roughly around 350bhp

so would it just not be better to put a fiesta rs turbo engine init then and save money
and if it is not better to do it this way y?
thanks
chris

mate get the fiesta lump as it is a better engine as you can run the efi system which is the best out of all the rs turbos for tuning potential to achieve 200 bhp with a fiesta lump it just requires a chip cam injectors and a uprated pump where as to achieve this with the escort engine means alot more work and exspense

As has been said, the Fiesta engine has the better EFI set-up which is way more reliable and capable of bigger bhp.
