No, it’s a totally different engine, most similar to the twin cam used in the Sierra and Granada.

I am particularly thinking here of the compatibility of ECU's and ignition circuits. Additionally I have read that if using a 2.0 Zetec in a Fiesta (H4) the standard inlet manifold is the wrong shape/too big and the best one to go for is the RS 1800 manifold, I was wondering how this compares with the RS 2000 manifold in terms of size/shape. Comments welcomed!
