So, the question is, who owns Great Plains now, and where are they located?
Don Grow and Art Box are the owners of Great Plains. Founder Steve Bennett
sold to Marty Roberts, who has sold the business to Don and Art. They are
located in Afton, OK. I have been to their shop, so I know they are up and
running. Maybe not as smooth as they would like but still up and running.

That is a great price on the Nikasil cylinders, but
Revmaster is doing something like that with their R3000. I saw a block just
like that one, being used to build up an engine for a race car. Go to the
racing world and you will find all sorts of stuff that we can use, we just
have to tone it down a little for reliability.
