Im from Albany Oregon..... right next door to Corvallis. As for reliability, run an auto tranny. Im not breaking anything I havent broken with a 22r/22re/3.slow and I currently own Toyota's with all those plus my 90 Runner with a 350/350... a pavement pounder really that gets an honest 14 MPG. Anyone running this off road will wanna do a ford 9 inch swap too.

I did have a Camden supercharger with a 10 PSI pully running on the truck pictured below but after breaking pistons (including a set of $430 forged ones) I sold that puppy and stuck with regular induction..... except on my Powerstroke.
