Default Mk2 escort project info wanted

Hi new member in need of some info. I'm looking at getting a Mk2 Escort flat nose and want your advice and suggestions

heres my questions.

1/ what mods do I need to do to fit either a cosworth turbo, zetec Superchrager or turbo engine into a Mk2. Ie prob, gearbox, axle etc...

2/ what would be the cheapest?

3/ would it be easyer to by one already done?

4/ does it matter what Mk2 I buy if I am going to bare metal respray, add bubble arches, and change the engine etc....?

cheers in advance
