Default **Complete low mileage VVT Engines Group buy**

We are stocked up with 3 fairly low mileage VVT's.
Comes with both manifolds (Squaretop intake), belts, accesories, wiring harness, clutch and flywheel
72K, 73K, 74K miles (not joking) on them.
We will be adding a 4th spot vacant for the next sub-80k mile car to show up at our shop (of which will have a higher S&H time than the others).
*DISCLAIMER*
Do not get your name on the list if you need an engine like tomorrow or some event you have in the next couple of weeks.
We will not be accepting cancellations related to shipping & handling time. Putting your name on the list (and paying), means agreeing with our terms.
ETA to ship is 21-30 days

All engines are promised to run, not to use excessive oil and/or show signs of smoke and/or excessive noise. Bad compression results will not result in a refund!
Engines are covered by a 90 day warranty once delivered, except when used for racing / boost applications.

Price is 950$ shipped to any location in the US (150$ off our quote).
Priority will be given to a buyer that will buy all 4, in which case each engine will be 900$

72k


73k




74K

Stop teasing me. I want in on this but I'm not currently in a financial/living situation where I can pull off a swap. Maybe in 6 months or so I'm going to be purchasing a motor from you folk.

FedEx is telling me I have to pay a 25% tariff on the engine and fill out an H7 form, is this correct?

So, I am still waiting to find out all the details. FedEx told me they pay the tariff and I have to pay them. Once I know everything, I will update.

UPDATE: engine cleared customs and was delivered yesterday. I did not have to fill out any forms. I am still waiting to see about the tariff, but I am starting to suspect that the guy at FedEx did not know what he was talking about.

Makes sense now. Usually any item that is required to pay import taxes for is held until required payment is made.
FYI to our customers this was the first time a shipment of ours allegedly had import taxes required for. We are looking into any tariff code changes in recent times.

Yeah, I would never have believed the driver. The guy who told me that is a Senior Import Coordinator, not sure how he got that wrong.
