2.3 turbo head on N/A block?

Yes, any Lima Turbo head will fit your block.
Look around the exhaust valve seats closely, they had a tendency to crack there.
'87 block should have the oil drain hole for the turbo.
Only other difference was the stock 2.3l turbos had forged pistons, everything else was the same, connecting rods, and crank as well

Not sure about casting numbers.
If you look here and scroll down to the Lima Engines:
Ford Pinto engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You will see the history of the 4 cylinder engines used in Rangers and other Ford models.
The Ranger 2.0l, 2.3l, and 2.5l SOHC are basically the same engines
2.3l is a bored out 2.0l
2.5l is a stroked 2.3l
The 2.3l DOHC Duratec replaced the Lima engines in mid-2001
