There are adjustable cam gears readily available for more than Honda engines... many DSM, Subaru, Honda, and several Ford engines are quite popular for tuning, and thus, have aftermarket support.
Easily found for Escort 1.8L DOHC engines.
Less easily found for Escort 2.0L DOHC.
My simple google (Ford Escort Adjustable Cam) and eBay searches only turn up OUT OF STOCK for Escort 1.9/2.0L SOHC.

My current daily driver ('99 Escort LX 2.0L 5sp MT) and normal daiily driver ('94 Escort 1.9L 5sp MT - currently down for the count - until the snow finally melts) are both SOHC.

Only the low priority, desperation (eg. both daily drivers broke down or me with broken leg/arm), alternate, backup ('99 Escort ZX2 Sport 4sp AT) is DOHC.
