Ok, Somebody smack me!
I just read through the Chapter list again and found the Jersey chapter.
Good Luck with the Pensi Chapter. I still would be interested in knowing about the Chapters happenings as I live at exit 36 on rt 80 in NJ which is only half an hour from the gap.

We need a minimum of five people who are interested and are willing to get involved, so if you come across pa people send them over for an official yay or nay. I don't know where that is fordgirl i'll look it up on the map to get an idea, i'm in Phila.

Im in Mine Hill. It's about 130 miles from you. Just a few miles from exit 36 on Rt80. I like the way you did your rig.
What engine you running?
My 68 F100 is 2wd and when I finnish the ground up overhaul Im in the middle of it will have a stroked 360 = bored 0.060, 390 crank and pistons, with 428 rods. That makes it about a 407. it works out to be a 6.5 litre engine. Im also running a c6 trans with 2.91 rear diff.
The horse power is only 339.7 at 3500 rpm but Im rinning a set of Clydesdales in my ride. But the whole package puts out 600 ft pounds of tourqe at 2000 rpm just for hauling. Kinda like riding at idle for peak pulling power. The dynos say about 17 to 22 mpg empty. i fell off my chair when I read that but 6 dyno programs all agreed with similar results. So if I get near 10 mpg loaded its all worth all the work.
Funny thing to note the new F150 does't meet the specs of my finnished project.
