Pinto engines

I was doing some research into the Pinto engines and found that they also came in 2.3L EFI (taller deck height) versions over in the states, some even EFI Turbo charged versions.
I kept looking around at later model OHC 2.3L and they continued making them all the way til 1999(maybe later) in the Ford Ranger. Under all the plastic tubing and such the engine looks very similar to the 2L pinto in the escort and i was thinking it could be a very very EASY swap for a late model, fuel injected, much more powerful engine. Much the same with the 2.6L Mazda Bravo engines too.
Has anyone else looked at these? Anyone know if it can be done?
I'm not sure what sort of work is involved but it seems like it could be a great and cheap reliable upgrade.
