Shipping a broken, stripped down motor to the USA for repair
Discussion
Anyone have any tips on the best way to do this, Sick to death of So called engine builders in the UK. so the Engine is going back to Detroit, USA to be rebuilt correctly by a company that knows what their doing.
Would be shipping a pile of bits, which would then be coming back as a complete repaired engine.
Not looking for ANY recommended UK engine builders, Just looking to find out the facts on best way to ship it and any custom implications. It could be classed as a Race Engine.
Thanks.

might it not work out cheaper/easier/less hassle to buy outright from the US rather then export and then re-import?
Its not a stock engine Its going here http://www.arrowracingengines.com/arrowrebuildserv...Everything is being done in house so no Bullst stories on ....I'm waiting to hear from him or him or the parts are on the boat or the parts are in customs or the other guy is not well at the moment or I need this bit before I can fit this bit, Or I will call you right back....Week later, Oh sorry Hes not here at the moment.....Have dealt with nothing but Total Wan..rs for the last TWO Years, taking bits from one place to another.
I had the Exact same thing when trying to get My TVR Tuscan challenge series race engine rebuilt. Rip off, bullst so called professional engine builders, one who went tits up with my engine locked inside his premises! That is a whole story in itself!
Sadly I have no faith in the Auto industry, which is why I do most of the work on my own car, If I cock it up its my fault.
Speak to Rob Loaring at ICE http://iceautomotive.co.uk/ there is very little about race engines that he doesn't know, you will get no bull just good honest straight talk.

Thank you for the link but the Engine is going to an engine building factory where they do Nothing but Viper Engines, so they know every little detail inside out. Gassing Station | Yank Motors | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
