Most people are looking at a Duratec or Zetec, late model, DOHC etc as they are getting fairly easy to get hold of now. The conversion can add up by the time you change the sump & other bits & pieces
You can get 2.3 strokers done here, they do have a heap more torque, but not common anymore
no real answers for you - sorry, but there are some many options these days
actually, the 2.3 LIMA's [not called Pintos] in the xr4s have a bigger bore spacing and the heads have an extra cam support.
