Default MK2 Focus upgrade

Hi guys, i have been lurking here unregistered for a while, until now, i previously had an ST170 until about 10 months ago when my wife insisted it had to go due to my son being born, she never like the "harsh" ride, seeing as we couldn't afford 2 cars, i had to replace it with something more rib friendly.
I ended up with a MK2 Focus climate 1.6!

The time has come for me to drop in a 2litre Zetec as i'm sick of the ball-less performance of the 1600, i've seen 145bhp straight from the factory engines being sold on ebay, but before i dive in i need to know if anyone here knows how easy it will be to make this conversion, will it drop straight in or will it require some mods? would i be just as well finding an ST170 engine and dropping that in?

Thanks in advance. Scott.

PS 145 isn't enough either, i do plan on making some changes to that too lol.
