Are their any decent combos for a Ford 2000/2400CC engine with a stick.

If you mean 2300, yup...several. Pinto wagons , Rangers, and 80 Fox body for W/Stock

Forgot one..Maybe the best..87 notchback Fox 88hp 2300...It's gonna be heavy but the best part is it's EFI.

I think that's the motor in Elam's wagon. Very impressive piece of tech. I had more questions for him about this than any big block anything. OHC winds like heck.

EDIT: I don't know if NHRA recognizes them all, but the Pinto was available with 9 i4 engine combos ranging from 100 to 54 HP. 1600cc, 2000cc and 2300cc.

I would prefer a Pinto car, but not sure if any of the combos would be worth building.

Actually, there's one more Ford with a 2300.
That would be an 84 Tempo/Topaz. It is a different 2300 but you can run a stick..Of course, it's FWD ;-)
