Would not recommend doing it this way for warranty reasons, the engine builders won't pay for frieght costs of warranty claims.
You didnt read my comment correctly,
I was saying for the owner "
SS Stoot" to bring it across himself,
deliver it to the re-builder, and when its ready to be collected, pick it up themselves.
No freight costs involved, just the cost of putting the L67 in a ute or similar for approx. $229 or similar on the spirit of Tasmania, and approx. the same return to collect it when its ready,
and take the opportunity to do a bit road trip while on the main land.
Well that's what I would plan to do, there has to be an ulterior motive to enjoy a hobby.
In reality, when your doing a complete motor rebuild like that, its just a needle in a hay stack.
However, SS Stoot they may of found a re-builder in Tasmania, so the conversation is mute,
on a side note,
I rang a re-builder to do the heads on my L67, and the quote as $600, In reality, that's cheap, included is all the gaskets and items to re-assemble it.
If your going to spend real money on a serious project [the heart of a car],
the cost should not enter in to it, as the cost out weight rewards.
If there is a warranty claim, take the vehicle across, and they can sort it out.
