Default What engine??

Hi, my next step for my Orion is the engine so I am in a difficulty to choose the right one.

What I want is a powerful engine that can be upgraded in future to approximate 500 bhp or more, also it needs to have the air condition due to hot weather we have here in Malta!!

I was thinking of a 2.0 Petrol Turbo.

Can anyone please suggest me a Ford engine that meets my needs? I'm lost with my decision.

Thanks a lot for the great help you always give

Clayton

Zetec, duratec or Cosworth YB. Think you'll be hard pushed to keep air con if you want the level of power though.
