Looking For: Someone To Help Source Rb30 Short Blocks To Export To Canada

[Deejaytexhfx]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to source some help in exporting a few RB30 short blocks here to Canada. I'm hoping to get 2-3 of them together so my friend And I can build some RB26/30's for our race cars.

Im hoping I can find a kind Austrailian in a sea port area like Brisbane who can source the blocks and strap them to a pallet so I can have the freight company pick them up and send them on their way.

I was in contact with an engine importer but j guess they lost interest when I didn't want long blocks to save space to ship a third block (just as a spare incase on of the other ends up unusable)

If anyone can help me out that would be amazing

Thanks!!

Have you tried looking on gumtree?

I have been looking on Gumtree and even posted an add there. However my ad keeps being taken down and finding someome on gumtree who has 2-3 short blocks to ship.

I wanted to try SAU to see if a member wanted to make alittle cash for car parts off some old RB30's they have kicking around

No worries mate if i see or hear ill let you know

Thank you so very much.

I should add, Im not necessarily looking for someone who has 2-3 short blocks but maybe someone who has one or knows of someone with one and would collect up a couple more off Gumtree or other classifieds so they can make some money.

I had an Engine company that normally deals in Jap import engines willing to help but they wanted me to buy whole drive lines (engine and trans) at over $1000 each. I see engines on Gumtree for less then $300 and I dont need the trans or even the top of the engines so shipping the whole drive trains was going to very very expensive and totally unnecessary.

I am trying to avoid hopping on a plane, renting a Ute and driving around pulling them out from under peoples decks and junk yards haha.

I believe I am after A6 Short blocks aka the RB30E. I know for my own build ill be installing new Piston and Rods along with all bearings ect and Im pretty sure my friend will end up doing the same so buying the rarer A8 or RB30ET blocks would just be a waste.

Thanks brother that would be greatl! The shipping company has offices in all the ports, I just got a quote from Brisbane because that where this shop was that said they could help us out. I cant imagine it being too much more so long as im shipping from the same side of the country haha.

You all have been a great help i really appreciate it

Still searching...

Sadly shipping from Australia to Canada is half the price of shipping from the US to Canada... Plus the AUS and Canadian dollar are much closer then the CAN to US Dollar is

Ok so found a few blocks around, theres definitely no shortage here in aus. Whats your budget on just blocks alone without freight costs? What im thinking is i may be able to go round with a trailer or delivered to me depending on where they are sourced (wreckers would deliver ) put them all on a pallet and get them picked up from me using courier and deliverd to melbourne port, then from Melbourne to you. Depending on how much work i do & cost of engines obviously i will work out what its worth. Its even easier if i have a few weeks to hunt down some bargains, buy and store them till i have everything you need.
