It's the same motor, so should be a direct fit. If you just use the long block and plug the Festy stuff into the Aspire long block, don't see why there would be any problems.
But why not upgrade to a B6? Also basically the same motor block, just bored and stroked. You'll love the extra power, and it's only a small hit on MPG.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Oh and no to the tank/fuel pump, and if its just the head I don't think you'll have any problems but 96-97 aspires use I believe a camshaft instead of a crankshaft or some such, as well as obd 2, so unless you plan on replacing the bottom half and the wirelloom too, I would skip the ecu because its obd2 abd has different plugins for more sensors, and some other differencres I believe1997 Ford Aspire, MTX, Teal, B3E - "Trusty"
