Every tech article that came out when the Ranger came out stated that. The difference between the RS 2.3 block and the Mustang 2.3 block was some machining to the block to improve cooling of the head and a unique head gasket for the RS.

Ok so the mounting bosses are the same I didn't know that.

You can have your (or whoever’s) block fitted with a deck support for about $1k. That IS closing the deck. If you opt for aftermarket sleeves then they are self supporting. Sleeving involves literally cutting everything out of the block and replacing it with steel sleeves. These engines are not super easy to build and they are very easy to mess up.

So $850 for the deck support plus labor.
What are people pushing out of the motor with the deck support and do they have fatter turbos? Seems like 2.0 is the way to go.
