The only reasons to worry about the different Pinto blocks are
1. If you want to bore it 93.mm or more 2. If you intend to have big turbo power over 300bhp 3. For the rods, early rods weaker later injection rods better, Cosworth rods Nice

Also have a 20 block bored to 93mm, they have thinner bore walls and some are slightly offset. If you are unlucky enough to have both problems there is a chance you could break through to the water jacket or have a porous cylinder.
My latest engine was built round a Transit 205 block bored to 93mm with Cosworth rods. There is room for a rebore if I need to
