If you use an RS2000 gearbox you'll also need to use the alloy bellhousing.
Where the gearstick hole is, you'll need to cut out another hole further back to fit the new lever in (Around 1" I think), you'll also need to move the gearbox mounting brackets further back as well, using the RS2000 bracket or one from a 5 speed Ford Sierra.
With this you'll also need an RS2000 propshaft as it is shorter than the standard Escort one due to it having a longer gearbox.
You'll also find that you'll need to play around with the wiring loom as the Pinto has more electricals.

Here in Australia, the escort was available with the 2litre in standard form and as an RS2000. So most the parts to convert an escort to a 2litre are not just limited to RS running gear, any 2litre escort donor car will do.
