HELP on 3S-GTE disassembly! Need machine shop in Bradenton, FL are, The engine will be shipped overseas and must be disassembled Options

Hi there, people. I need some really urgent help in order to find any machine shop in Bradenton, FL area that can be capable of disassembling a 3S-GTE engine properly and packaging the parts in boxes.

I bought a JDM 3S-GTE plus AWD tranny, all axels, diff and spindels via Canadian market (vtec_motors seller in eBay). The engine and all stuff are already in the bed of my friend's truck in Bradenton, FL, just waiting to be delivered to some mechanic. We tried to deliver it at some people but all them said they can't do the job because they don't know this engine and were afraid of breaking stuff.

This engine will be shipped to Brazil (where I do live). Before you question why don't I ship it assembled let me explain that (weirdly) engines can be shipped assembled to Brazil but the buyer must pay high customs taxes (I mean almost 300% of the product price) and it can take 2 years for it being fully freed by government to ride. So if I send the split engine it will be cheaper and faster, even If I need to rebuilt it.

Here in Brazil I bought a Celica GT 1995(really rare around here) and I intend to make a GT-Four swap. I know it's difficult and will worth a bunch of bucks but I'll handle it. This car will be a track day/drag racing car to be upgraded in the future.

Sorry about english mistakes. Can anyone help me?

Send it to me, I'll dissemble it, pack it up and ship it too you. That is of course if you can handle the fees =)

Thanks, bro! But... Where are you in the US? Too far from Bradenton? If it's in Florida I can try to make my friend drive himself to your place. How much will you charge me? Thanks

I'm roughly 3 hours away in Gainesville FL.

How disassembled are you looking for? Does that also include disassembling the transmission, and rear diff? I would just say pay all shipping costs..which could be quite interesting because there will be MANY boxes.

Throw me around 300 hundred USD and I could make it happen. Boxes, tape, and baggies for bolts etc are cheap. Have all the tools.

They come apart pretty quick, its putting it back together is where the fun comes in.
