Default 1983 ranger engin swap

My 1983 ranger mint payed $700 has a blown 2.0. I will rebuild it for high hp next year. Until then I would like to drive it with a salvaged engine. There is no way I'll find the same one, any suggestions on the cheap? As to interchangeable engines? I might find at a salvage yard

Well, I Pulled the 92 2.3 stang out of the doner car today. I also found out this is a good swap. The 83 2.0 intake will or wont bolt up, I can also use my old head with intake. Thanks to some OGs at the Ranger Station.
