55 and 75 on an Escort van have no reference to engine size/ output.
They refer to load specs:
The 55 has a capacity of 550 kg; the 75 has a 750 kg capacity. All down to leaf spring rates etc
(Ford parts advisor)

I'd avoid an Escort Van at all costs.... I have a 4 year old company one (United Utilties), it struggles to get a hill, its a wreck, its rusting, the cambelts snapped not so long since, and the top end had to be rebuilt.... its only done 38000 miles!!!! (Thank God i've got a new Vauxhall Combo DTi coming to replace it!
Honestly, id go for a different small van depending on ur budget obviously, but id go for a 1.9TD Peugeot Engined van (Partner or a Citroen Berlingo)
