Subject:      Purchasing motor from US to Canada?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed

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
