Are you looking to buy a crate engine or rebuild what you have ?
When I lived in Denmark I found that freight + value addeed tax on engine + freight + custom fees + customs clearing was too punitive, and would then with the help from fellow car enthusiasts find a local machine shop that was used to performance work and did work on V8s at all. Then I would do the disassembly, confirm with the machine shop what over/under sized parts I needed and have them shipped in from Hansen Racing in Stockholm, Sweden. Final inspection and assembly I did myself. If you go this route - be extra careful to check everything. I have had to take parts back to be re-machined, because they were not used to working on parts that big. There are several excellent books on rebuilding FEs.
Parts for a rebuild can in the US probably be had cheapest from PAW, Summit, & Jegs.
Good luck |
