It's more the cylinder head that has moved on in modern engines. I seem to remember ford using a very similar engine block in the Ka.

I think you are correct, it was called the Valencia engine after the plant in which it was made. However the Wikipedia entry as below says Fiesta/Escort.
'The engine was revised to suit front wheel drive installation in 1976, co-inciding with the launch of the Ford Fiesta. The ancilliaries were repositioned and the cylinder head redesigned using flat-top pistons and the traditional combustion chamber in the head. This version of the Kent was known as the Valencia engine, after the Spanish production plant in which it was made. It would later see service in the third generation Ford Escort. Even TVR used the engine in the Grantura, Vixen, and 1600M.'
