Question Escort 1.6 zetec upgrade to 2.0 zetec?

Hi,
I'm sure its been asked before but i'm new to the site and i cant find anything.

I have a 1998 Escort with a 1.6 16v zetec engine (silvertop). Unfortunately the power isn't brilliant and I have hit 83,000 miles so no doubt the timing belt needs changing soon which will set me back a bit.

So, I was thinking about replacing the 1.6 for a mondeo 2.0 16v zetec (silvertop) in hope i'll get more horses and possibly skip the timing belt change for a bit.

Any expert advise on how much it will cost to put the new engine in and at what millage do you need to change the timing belt on the 2.0 zetec silvertop?

Thanks for any advice
