Just love the 'I mean business' bass notes of an Indiana tractor motor-
remember, you can fly an ALLISON further than you can ship a MERLIN

I'm not a facebooker, so can you post the link to the engine run?

Thanks

Ain't my line originally, I lifted it from a posting here on WIX.

Not sure I buy the fly an Allison further than you can ship a Merlin. I seem to remember Glacier Girl hasn't made the trip across the pond yet with those trusty Allison's.

In that case, you gotta make sure you have radiators that can handle the job. (Or at least I seem to recall that was the bigger issue that led to other problems, though I may have that wrong)

Great news regarding the A-36! Pretty amazing to consider that, for the first time in how long(?) there are two airworthy A-36 Invaders in the world.

I think you got your 6's mixed up, as the A-36 was the Apache, and the A-26 the Invader.
