It can be done, but your car will not handle very well. You will have to make serious modifications to the front and rear suspension to make it half driveable.

Consider fitting a ZETEC instead, far better.

As said it can be done but if power is what you want forget it, as they are not exactly easily/cheaply tuneable, depends how much you want power wise.

Your are right in that.
If it is power you need an 16V cosworth engine.
But that´s been done lots of times. Not an 24V Cosworth engine.
