Easy engine to work on. My 94 with 2.3L is still going strong at 250K.
As said they are not interference engines and you can pop the timing cover loose to feel for the belt. It is just two pieces of plastic that snap together.
It would be an easy swap, and there are literally thousands upon thousands out there in scrap yards. Engine mount would be close if not a direct fit.
Rebuild kits for both the 2.3L and 2.5L can be had for around $500 hundred depending on how much OE stuff you are going to save.
I wouldn't make a mountain out of a mole hill until you determine the definition of the word "FRIED".
Depending on how wild you want to get...302's are a very common swap. If you get a carbed motor all you need are motor mounts. Heck there is a kit to put a 460 in a ranger!!!
