No gains at all for running a pinto engine. zetec far better and easier to fit.

if yours is an xr3 - not a 3i, there's lots of wiring, however if you get a donor car you only actually need to cut 5 wires, the rest of it is straight swap in ( the 5 wires you need are the ignition etc ) you'd also need to change the petrol tank etc
