The early Fiestas used the crossflow engine so the basic answer is "yes you can" as it's an easy bolt on to a RWD ford gearbox of
the same era (MK 1,2 Escort, most Capris, Cortina, Sierra type 9 etc.).
I'm not sure from your posts if you already have a Reliant engine and gearbox installed. If so, you'll find that the Reliant engine/box
combo is quite short (longitudinally) and if you fit a Ford combo there might not be enough room for the propshaft.
it won't be quite so easy either if you are trying to mate a Reliant gearbox to a Fiesta engine. If I recall the Reliant has a cast-in
bellhousing.
Some pictures of what you have now might help you get the answer you're after.

Will you put a few full stops and commas in your posts?
