There's no reason you can't but there is a question of why you would?

Anything is possible. The question is how much time and money you are willing to throw at the project. if ya want a turbo six, why not track down a wrecked B-Series xr6-turbo. same result (turbo six), and yeah it might cost a little more, but you can swap *ALL* The good stuff, and make your own interpretation of a Cortina XR6 Turbo.
Anyway it's just a thought |

It can be done if your handy with a welder and a soldering iron. budget $10k minimum. knowsfords - why not? Its one of the two options I am looking at for my NC.

B) Cortina's run a rear bowl sump setup, so it isn't as simple as it sounds unless you go FG DOHC or 250

even if he went xr6 running gear (B-series or FG) it'd still be a lot of fun to drive.
