If you want 100rwkw, why not turbo it instead? You'd most likely need engineers certificates, but you should be able to reach the 100rwkw target without sacrificing the handling abilities of the escort.
I agree, there are a few turboed pintos getting around, and I think you'd be more then happy with it, not to mention it wouldn't ruin the weight balance like a V8 under the hood would - a V8 would be fine if you only go in a straight line, but as soon as you want to corner, just ask anyone who has driven a 6 cyl Cortina...
