Sourcing & Importing used engine + gearbox from the USA.

[MiddayGun]

First up, apologies if this is the wrong forum, its not too obvious where a question like this would go.

I'm just wondering if anyone has some experience / advice with importing an Engine / Transmission & Differential from the USA?

Are there any good companies that can source the parts and package them up for me and send the across(to the UK), or am I stuck trying to get each part individually sent by whomever I manage to source it from?
I would have thought there were companies existing for this very purpose but google isn't bringing many good options up.

Specifically I'm after a:
LFX V6 from a Camaro / MV7 Transmission from a Cadillac CTS 2008-2012 / Getrag Diff from 2006-2008 CTS (LSD)

I've been able to find most of what I want on Car-Part.com but again all from different source etc.

Anyone gone through this process before?

I'll give him a call, thanks very much.

I've sent Ron an email. (I'm in Mozambique right now & the phones are sketchy)
So I'll see what he comes back with, but other options are always great.

STS can ship it for me, but they can't source it.
I'll try one of the other options, problem is as I can't go and inspect it, there's no way of telling what some unscrupulous seller could give me.

I've found various potential on eBay or Car-Parts.com. But no real way of checking how good they are.
Plus finding a block complete with ancillaries as well.

I'll keep chipping away, I've got 10 days in mandatory quarantine next week so I'll have nothing but time.

[MiddayGun]

I'll try both those options.
Thanks.

As already said, there are guys on that FB page who can do it for you. They bring over LS engines/parts often so would have contacts.

I joined the linked FB group & made a request there.

Unfortunately after just a couple of replies and about 30 mins, it looks like my topic has been deleted. It does say in the rules that only LS related topics are allowed, but apparently whomever moderates it won't even allow any V6 questions.

I've had a look for some of these UK American car breakers, but no luck so far, most of what I can find is ancient stuff that's no what I'm after.

Carlos Perez, Kevin Snazelle-Halliday, Benito Chiarella, Dave Lea are some of the guys who import stuff from that group, if you maybe try contacting them

Thanks Stevie.
I'll drop them a DM and see if they can help out.
