As long as your Pinto had a 2.3 L originally it should work ok. I have gotten a 2.3L from an 80 Ford Corrier & it's the same engine basically, just newer. The bolt holes should line up on for you.

Go to racer walsh.com / then to tech / to see ever thing know to man about a 2.3L ford.  By the way, only a 2.3 pinto oil pan will fit a pinto.  Some 2.3L fords have the dip stick in a different location also.
