The 2.3 used in the Pinto among other things was a very good engine. Other than being rust buckets- and EVERYTHING was in those days- and the a/t models being saddled with old school transmissions- as EVERYTHING was in those days- I'm not aware of any huge shortcoming. Oh, they explode you say? What were the odds of any particular Pinto exploding- 1:1,000,000?
