There is a specific 2+2 subframe for the Escort RST. I guess your Fiesta engine has had the Escort T3 exhaust manifold and turbo fitted, a common mod with the Fiesta boys.
You've done one of the changes, moving the rad forward, the other is to parallel up the bottom front chassis rail with another bit of tube (in front) and then cut away a section of the original tube to clear the downpipe. For the full Escort RST setup in the 2+2 Quantum also did a modified bonnet with the radiator shroud much further forward. Mine was this version.
