The price for the TS42 is $529, the TS52 is $559, and the TS62 is $589. They have latger singles, but I am unsure of the price. At this time the TS52 may be a little slow getting due to the fact that they sold A BUNCH of these at Toledo. They build these engines to order, meaning they do not stock mass quantities and ship from the shelf. They also test run them, and if you are at the same altitude as them you will be better off to NEVER touch the needles during break in.

As for the 107, I believe they have it in a single and double apposed. I saw both versions at Toledo. I was most interested in the twin apposed. I may have it wrong about the single it may be and inline twin, can't remember for sure. Bill has promised me the 107 and the up coming 144 will be among the best in their respective classes. I have no doubt.

As I mentioned before, I will continue to use BME and other brands of engines. Taurus has a very impressive line of engines perfomance wise and quality wise. In some cases thewy might be a tad bit heavier than another engine and when weight is the main issue, then I would most likely use BME. The extra weight comes partially from that awesome crank and dual bearing support.

Fox is a decent engine manufacturer, but not quite in the same league as TAURUS.
