Subject:Purchasing motor from US to Canada?
From:Jeff Palmer
Date:Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:05:20 -0600

I'm thinking about replacing my original 1.9 motor in my 85 Westfalia
(300k km) with a rebuilt motor from one of the US vendors.

Can anybody give me any advice as to what to expect regarding
shipping costs/companies (both ways if I send back the core I guess),
duties/taxes etc?  Any do's and don'ts?

My plan B is to drive the van out to a reputable rebuilder in Ontario
or Quebec and make a holiday out of it but with 300k km on the motor
you never know!

Thanks
Jeff in Winnipeg
