according to wiki, if its a Mk3 Fiesta then a kent/HCS if its a mk4 then kent/endura-E
(Mk3 was until 1997 and Mk4 started 1995 according to wiki)

Valencia was the name for the kent engine in fwd layout (different thermostat housing iirc among other little things)

Probably an Endura-E like my brother's old 1.3 scort of the same year (what a pile of shite).
It's basically a prehistoric museum-piece kent engine with a 'modern' dizzyless electronic ignition slapped on so that Ford could
pretend they developed a new engine for the scrote/festa. Sounded like my late grandad's early vauxhall chevette.
Lord, why did I spend a whole day of my life replacing one for another after the former threw a rod out, and not just let my bro scrap the thing?...

I remember when cars sounded different - what made a Chevette whine? Why did a Talpot Alpine rattle like a half-full tin of ball bearings and still
keep going? Bahhhh, them were the days.....

The Valencia/HCS/Endura-E look a bit like an original Kent engine from the outside but hardly anything is interchangeable.
They do have one thing in common however, a tumble drier full of pebbles would sound positively musical next to any of them 
The Mk1 Fiesta had a proper FWD Kent engine, the block and crank were a little shorter than the RWD engine but pretty much everything else was
interchangeable.
