You can but they will need clamping in the seats if you do. Escort lowering blocks will fit with a bit of modification. Classicswede is a forum member.

Sourcing straight bolts as escort bolts are hooped for the round axle.
Then you should be good man.

Look in the FOR SALE section.
There's a thread called performace parts by a member called classicswede, all the parts you need are offered there dude.
Sorry we didn't explain it clearly.
And watch out for magnumpi.
He'll be going past you at one billion miles an hour with ultra Williams powaz.
