Well here is how I imported my own engine from New Zealand to Australia,
Engine Cost NZ$2750
Shipping NZ$450
Customs Duty/GST Au$630
Port / Handling Charges Au$520
So now that I finally have the engine and gearbox i can make up the engine placement and cut a new hole for the gear stick. will be placing some new pics up soon when I have the old engine out and most of the body prep done.

This shows the current condition of the car, with most of the bog and paintwork stripped, soon the engine will come out so that the engine bay can be de-greased and stripped of paint. It is very important to Degrease paintwork prior to stripping it, as grease and oil tends to stick to the paint and etch in slightly and can also spread onto other parts of the car when stripping it, and the last thing you want is bubbles under or paint that doesnt stick on that nice new paint job. I will also degrease the entire car prior to applying etching primer once the bodywork is done, this will make sure that I havnt missed any spots.
