Go to Racer Walsh's web site. At the end of his catalog he has everthing you ever need to know about a 2.3 or 2.5L ford. You can use a 2.5L short block but I understand the Pinto oil pan will be hard but not inpossible to seal over the rear main cap. Lots of RTV will work.

 I used a 1991 Ranger block for my 2.5. I also used a pinto oil pan and it never leaked.
