Been away a while, back for more fun ;-)

Hey,

I used to post here a few years ago, when I owned a '98 contour.

Alas, that car has gone to the "Big Shredder in the Sky," and it's been a while since I had a car I intended to hold onto long enough to mod.

Now, I've got two vehicles: a '94 F-150 (2X4, shortbed, MT, I-6) and a '84 V45 Honda Sabre. Getting roughly 15 combined from the truck, and 40 from the bike.

Looking for ideas on how to mod the straight-6 for better MPG. (I mean, the engine has been around roughly since the invention of the wheel, so there's gotta be a fair amount of accumulated knowledge out there!) I'd like to get an honest 20 highway vs. my current 17 (although I try to only use "big Blue" for local, work-related stuff).

First mod will probably be a partial Kammback off the roof (hinged to allow full use of bed as needed).
