Default escort 1600 zetec

i have just got my hands on one as a run about. the thing is a little poo. the engine is really lumpy and i get beaten by everything on the road. 1l corsa the lot. any ideas to whats pissing it off.

also are there any mods i can do to help it on its way. i heard 1.8 and 2l cams fit with good results.
