Hi mods,
Not sure if it is OK to post this here. If not, first, sorry. Next, please tell me where you move it to.
As many long-time members in here might know, I have a very good friend, Joe Yancey, who operates an Allison V-1710 engine overhaul business. As it happens, Joe is getting close to retirement, and his Allison Engine Overhaul business is for sale. I attach a file with some info for interested parties. If you are looking to get into WWII engines, this is the proverbial golden opportunity.
Blue skies,
