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?

Looking at my current load of items to do, it may be a few months before I can tackle this task.

That has been why it has taken a while to respond. Trying to move projects around, but I'm loaded up with work right now, and my own project I'm working on.

I would be able to most likely do this in January right after the new year.

The picture thing I'm iffy about, that is a bit of work added. There are alot of pieces, and alot of pictures would be produced. It sounds easy, but each time you have to stop, clean your hands, take a picture, document it, upload it...just alot of extra work, when I could just print you out a manual with everything already there.

For a carrier, just search around on the web for freight carriers. Prices seem to change alot, so I havn't had a definate one to use. Maybe RTL?
