I used to have a XR4Ti which used a stock 175hp version of turbo coupe . There a lot of parts you can use from stock SVO stuff to custom 3rd party . SVO put out like 210hp but hp is not really issue here I think TQ is .

On the oil pan if my memory right all the turbo engines used same pan, the mustang SVO, thunderbird and Merkur XR4Ti had sump in back .You can see where distributor is oil pump right under neath with pickup going to rear . Not sure on pinto pan ,it is same family but only 2.0L , might work .
How much clearance do you need and where .

Those 2.3 turbo 86-88 were suppose to be 14lb boost but were only like 12lb so raising boost to 15-17lb is easy and safe pickup of 25hp or so .
