Tom,

If you want the complete dope on importing into the US, give me a call at
the number below.  I am intimately familiar with process but it's a little
too long to type out (at least for me).

Cheers,

Jeff

I know there are stipulations on what engine model you can bring in.
Basically I think it needs to be one of the same engines that is already
here.  If that is in order I think it takes getting a hold of the VWoA
people and getting proper paperwork.  I think from the Auborn Hills, MI
location.  Plus you have to add on the tax for bringing it in 15%-ish?  (Not
100% sure how much it is.)

That is what I know.  If anyone else can add or subreact from this...I think
there is a thread loating around.

Tom
