Don, keep your eye on the Harris,Liberty and Chambers county auctions in Texas they pop up there. I bought 3 rebuildable 8v92's there last year and there were 3 or 4 V12 T's and  5 -671's in the sale it happens in Apr and Nov.
I'll be there in Nov for the sale I need to pickup my engines from the kids place in Houston
   


good luck

clifford; 

Thanks for the tip, I will be down in new orleans the first week of Dec. if you will still be in Houston we might be able to meet and have a meal some where. You can show me around the place so I can look for a place to set up shop.

Hey did you get a chance to look up the injector spec's  I talked to you about the other day.

Thanks again

Don

Don,

Where are you moving your operation to?

Gus;

At this time I am thinking Houston TX or some where around there as a landing place.

Don,

The transmission guy in Rancho Cucamonga said he may be able to find some.  I told him to call you if he could.

Don,

That is good news, puts you a lot closer to me in AR.

My trips to Bakersfield are about over.

Don try these 2 here maybe, maybe not.

Diesel Power Inc.
2025 Wayne Sullivan Drive
Paducah, KY 42003
270-443-0840
or

More Power Diesel Inc.
5080 Reidland Road
Paducah, KY 42003
270-898-8844

I know of 2 other places that may or may not have any, but they are private outfits with no company name/listings, so a drive by is required for them. Next time I'm in Paducah I'll see if I can't find out something even if it's only a #.

Title: Don...Sorry To Hear You Are Leaving Bakersfield; That Pretty City
Post by: HB of CJ on August 20, 2009, 09:50:27 PM
Also my old home town for 20 years over 20 years ago.  Have you tried scouting out SW Oregon where I now live?  We have to be more business friendly than Bakersfield California where even the stones melt in the summer time. 

No individual sales tax.  I THINK corporate taxes are kinda low also but not sure.  ZERO air pollution.  Hunt off your rear door step.  Very rural in Cave Junction, our nearly perfect mountain valley town. Low property taxes in our county.

NO VEHICLE SMOG INSPECTION PROGRAMS AT ALL!  Soon to change although.  Lots of rain; some winter snow; plenty of rivers, streams and brooks.  Good fishing.  Very few firearm laws.  Open carry.  Anyway, HB of CJ lives here 'cause it's cheap.

Don's rightfully thinking of Houston since that's where a bunch of oil field equipment is and many crew boats all with 2 strokers that need to be up graded.  Good Luck, TomC
