The best and probably only realistic option is to replace it with a Zetec. Keep the sump and starter and get the flywheel modified to take the CVH clutch.
I think the engine mounts might even be the same?
Tuning the CVH can be done but finachially it's like trying to crack a peanut with a sledge hammer.
It can be done - a friend of mine did - 170+BHP 1680 CVH in an Escort van! It was a pig to drive 'cos of the lairy cam, did 0mpg and cost over £2000 more than 10 years ago.....
For a tenth of that money you can pick up a good zetec and have 150+BHP.
