Friend in the used parts biz,runs across border with parts 2 x week for 20 years.Knows almost all the curves until the tariff issues. Do not buy without a guarantee of the cost post border.He had parts that one day were 5$ to cross,next guy said those parts originated in KY and were sold on a new Canadian block.Therefore you have an engine made elsewhere ,,need duty In and Out,,,1500$ ish.The cross border deal will hurt O Canada badly,,,,eventually .He uses brokers that thought they knew all the issues but the rules are very opaque .(blurry/unclear)
