Default Engine conversion

Hi all!
I've been thinking about an engine conversion for a couple months now & I know that it'll be n/a.
Question is, what's the best engine/setup to have in A mk3 escort?
Also, what will I need to do the conversion (i.e, loom,engine, box) but what else?

Thank's,
Tom

Haha sound, I'll order 3 later.
Nah just something a bit more modern than the good old cvh.
Budget will be around the 1k mark, less would be better but I'm not going to moan about going slightly over.

Thanks

This is a good cheap conversion, I've done quite a few for people in the past

Thanks for the advise, I'll look into it over the next month or so.

N/a YB, that'll be my entire budget gone, I'd love to do it though.
