existing code base - worth importing to cakePHP in order to apply best practices?

Hi
I developed a site last year in php and mysql in a procedural manner
(I did not use MVC model or object oriented programming). The project
is being developed further along with 2 new programmers. As we have
got some investment and it looks like this application (market place
style website) will be going for a few years, I would like to apply
Best Practices to the existing code. This means using the MVC model
and OOP. I feel its best to do this now where the website is at a
manageable(ish) 300 files rather than a year down the line when its a
mess..

Do ye think its a good idea to use the cakePHP framework to force a
sort of structure on the code? So we would not be doing a lot of new
coding, instead we'd be using the framework to enforce good practices
of OOP and MVC. Also, any estimates on if this would take long (300
files) and whether cakePHP is right for this? Or if it's worth doing
at all?
Thanks
Mark
