Just wondering if its possible to use a mk3 manual escort rack instead of a mk2 rack?

No ---steering will work backwards

it would really have to be from a rwd car. rwd car racks go in front of the axle line, most fwd cars (inc mk3 escorts) have the rack behind the axle line

Unless you used a LHD one and turned it upside down...?

It would need to be a Fiesta LHD rack MK3 escort reverted to Escort Mk1 track rod ends with UNF threads and smaller tapers.
