You could get a 'Redtop' (otherwise known as a C20XE) for about 300-400 quid, or get an Ecotec for much cheaper.
Ecotec's are 130 bhp (20 less than the XE), but have a lot more torque to them than the XE's. You can also tune them to a proven 200bhp with a few changes here and there, and some parts swap over from the XE, which are stronger.
I'd go for an 2l Ecotec, tuners are starting to realise the potential to the engine, and they're in every Vectra in the scrappy, they can't even give them away.

I'm always available to help out if you get stuck anywhere.

Cheers mate!

Good info i aint an engine person, more into my ICE
