Please don't get carried away with font bold. It hurts :) Just because the buttons are there doesn't mean it has to be pressed !!
Anyway, you don't tell us where you are....
Nor about your ambitions ...

Any scrap yard in the UK will have lots of 1600 Ford block engines that will drop straight in the car. But, you could tune up the 1300 and get 110bhp for a few hundred quid.
Or get a 2liter Pinto engine and 5-speed box. Another common fit and plenty of advice/support from Ford car clubs all over the country.
So give us a bit more info and we can hlpe more :)
