the block doesnt make it a svo. nor does it make a difference. its all in the rods and pistons. so if you can find that (ie ebay craigslist, or a performance site) then you can build your own 2.3 turbo. or if you prefer to do it the simple way and just buy a 2.3t look up 1986 ford thunderbird on ebay or turbocoupe's.

the block and rods are no different than a N/A motor. None, Nada, Nope, and .........no different... other than the drilled and tapped oil return hole that any machine shop cen do for cheap (if they are reputable).
The pistons are different. They are dished and forged.
