Default fiesta mk6? engine swap options

hello, i have a ford ecosport, like an "offroad" version of the fiesta mk6. if you are interested i can upload some picures, but the engine bay is exactly the same as the fiesta mk6.
my model comes with the zetec 1.6 rocam and there is a version of my car that comes with the 2.0 duratec. that engine was my first option for a swap because the 1.6 is too small for this car, it has bad fuel economy for an 1.6 and no power.
later i found about the engine in the new focus, i believe its a duratec. 2.0, direct inyection and 170 hp, the ecosport that cames with the 2.0 has 140 or so
but recently i found a rear ended mondeo, i think is like a ford fusion, that comes with the 2.5 l5 turbo engine and i would love to fit that engine on my car

so here is my question: can i fit a 2.5 l5 in a fiesta mk6 engine bay without too many fabrication? if not, what are my best options for an engine?
thanks a lot and sorry for my english

I would expect plenty of fabrication to be required to fit the 5cyl turbo engine and corresponding gearbox. That's if it will even physically fit within the engine bay.

Show us your cat then, sounds interesting and possibly not a model sold in the UK.

Interesting looking car from what google turns up, looks a bit like a ford Fusion crossed with a Panda 4x4

I should think a fair bit of metalwork will be needed.

the 2.3 block is externally the same as the 2.0 Duratec, so a you could rebuild a 2.0 engine with the 2.3 block, or squeeze in an RS or Mustang 2.3 turbo, although packaging the tubby and intercooler will take some thought.
