Default engine swop in mk1 mondeo 4x4

Hi all
I have had my mk1 for 5 years and all the time missing the power from my xr4x4 as the mondeo is only a 2 litre I did an exhaust and k&n to increase power but still does not touch the sierra
I have got to the point when I am considering changing cars to get back the power I miss.
It has got to the point where donor cars are affordable eg st24's and my fave the scorpio cosworth so I am seriously considering an engine swop, the trouble is the last swop I did was on the xr2 for an orion engine so straight forward I do not think I could swop the engine myself on the mondeo
What is the best option I love the 4x4 but not the lack of power what swops are possible and what are the costs as a "guesstimate"
I know it would be cheeper to buy a faster car but the 4x4 set up is bliss and I don't want to buy another 20 year old sierra
Thanks for reading even if you can not answer.
