Default Ford SportKa

Hi everyone A newbie here so please be gentle!
I'm sure this subject has been covered before but here goes anyway ...
Have bought a cheap SportKa with a dead engine so need to replace it
What options do I have to put something bigger in?
Thinking along the lines of a ST170 lump? Or would anything else be a better bet?
Looking around interweb it seems to point me towards a diff sump pan (zetec 1.8?) and some new engine mounts plus a bit of trimming of bodywork but real question is regarding g'box and the driveshafts?
Is it poss to bolt a bigger engine straight in and would I need major wiring/ECU mods?
Thanx for any help and like I say its my first time and it is Sun morning!?
