Can anyone give me a website to view info on taurus engines? The only only one I come up with using a search does not load. Would like to be able to see specs on 42 and 52.
Thanks
Rick

Doug,
Did they go out of business? Down for holidays? I have nothing but good stuff about their engines. Is production stopped. Someone has a 52 for sale and was wanting to check specs and what price was new.
Thanks

My understanding is Southgate Aero is shopping for a new CNC facility.

Talked to Bill the owner of Taurus about a week ago. He lives about an hour from me and I talk to Bill often. This is what Bill told me. He has had some health problems and is taking care of himself. Heart trouble and needs some rest for few weeks. His machinest past away a few months ago. Bill said that the machinest family is not sure if they want to keep family business going. So Bill is currently looking for someone to take over the machining. Bill is a great guy, and has always done me right. I'm confident that Bill will have thing straighten out soon, and have site and production up and runing. Lets all pray for his health and he gets well soon.

Yes I agree. I am going to buy the new GP Christen Eagle and the 3.2 Taurus would be perfect. It would have been my 2nd 3.2 Taurus. Because of Bill condition, and future of Taurus will consider ZDZ, Brisson, etc. as alternative. You can reach Bill at 734-283-4813.. Let us know if you get Bill. Like to know future of Taurus.
