I would like to express my graditude to several guy's that roam around here. In Febuary I popped my 200 powerhead. I started shopping around for a 225. I got ahold of Scott Vickery (Yellowallison) and asked him for his help in finding one. He talked me into looking for a 260 instead. He said I was jut gonna want more anyway. He then, got me in touch with Rick Conklin (Fl boyin Ill). Rick had a stock 260 he could have put together for me by his racing partner Bill Henderson (Mirage243). Thanks to all of these guys I have a sweet 260 on my Allison now. Motor has top pinned piston and stuff like that, a nice powerhead.:thumbsup: I had most of the money but, not all of it. They built me a powerhead, sent it to me and let me pay the rest at a later date when I had it. I just wanted to post this to let everyone know what a great bunch of guy's these boy's are. A special big thanks to Bill.
You boys are the best:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

:iagree: Some good people on here. Congrats on the motor K-dawg.
There was a time that we could get good deals on the buy n sell forums too, but thats hard to do now that cheap parts get snapped up only to be sold for double a few months down the road.
