I recently agreed to donate a 2cyl 2 stroke Daithatsu Engine/trans/radiator to a gentleman in Australia. The drivetrain was original equipment in a tuk tuk that he is restoring.  Apparently, the import regs are fairly strict re: cleanliness etc.  and I have no interest in being on the hook for additional fees if my idea of clean is different from theirs. Do any of you know of any sort of company in the US that is in the business of cleaning, preparing, crating and shipping of engines from here to there?

Thanks

Ben

Absolutely! I'm friends with Lawrence, owner/operator of Aussie Car Imports, and that's all he does is car stuff, engines, parts, etc back and forth to Australia. Give him a call.

You'd be surprised what the forum can do.

 

I gave a half assed  request about a childhood toy around 1:00 am. 24 minutes later, Wally had me my answer.

Shipping a Japanese engine from the US to Australia just seems backwards somehow.

 

Can he pay you in Ford 351C blocks and heads?
