Shipping an engine out of Japan
|

Ive got a guy in Tokyo who is able to arrange the purchase of a few engines for me (cheap!) BUT the cost of shipping that he's been quoting is quite high... like US$800 for 1 engine, and US$1000 for 2, shipped in a wooden box to an Aust port.
does anyone know any alternate ways of shipping a large heavy box or palette out of tokyo?
cheers

I'd just be happy with a 1GZ thanks. Hell I wouldn't even need to put it in anything... I could lay a sheet of glass over the top and use it as a coffee table, but it would still be cool because I could say "I have a V12." And let's face it, how many people can honestly say they have a V12 coffee table?

I know a V12 coffee table is much cooler, but my mate does have a coffee table made out of a slick from a top fueller  Looks pretty cool!

The Lamborghini dealer in Sydney (Rushcutters Bay) have got an (early model) Lambo V12 with a glass sheet on top of it, first time I saw it i thought to myself it would make a cool coffee table

Should be able to arrange a 20' container for 800USD... how many engines do you reckon would fit in a 20' container ay??? (30 odd cubic mtrs)
Note: All car parts incur approx 15% import duty.
