European pals
I want to buy a new GM crate engine, but if I buy the engine in US, the warranty claims can only be done in US and Canada.
Do you know any reseller in Europe with good prices? And hopefully a valid warranty....

Re: European pals (Lasse)
There's a guy here in the Netherlands but he's outragiously expensive.
He doesn't even list prices

Oh and his warrenty is crap too, I heard horror stories about someone buying a ZZ4 and one of the the cylinders wasn't straight (machining error) and to date he hasn't seen a refund nor have they fixed his engine.

Re: European pals (Lasse)
Hi :)
There is a company here in the UK Called "Real Steal" based in Uxbridge Middlesex (telephone UK 01895 440505). They stock GM Crate motors and are very helpful. I wouldn't like to think how much shipping might cost though.
Best of luck

Re: European pals (Lasse)
Have you checked with Klintberg&Way in Stockholm (official GM Dealer)? Usually horribly expensive, but sometimes strangely affodable (seemingly random). Some years ago I needed a radiator for a Camaro. Got prices of $200 for rebuilds (remember this was Sweden). Called Klintberg and got a brand new AC-Delco for $130!

Re: European pals (ukvette72)
The only place I know of is Real Steel as mentioned above (it's slightly to the west of London). I have last years catalogue somewhere & if you convert $'s to £'s you'll be in the right sort of area for the price. If you intend to buy something expensive from them you can buy a "Gold Card" (or something like that) which gives a 10% discount on future purchases. I dread to think what shipping would cost, it may be cheaper to get a ferry & have a weekend break in sunny exotic Uxbridge :jester It would be worth giving them a call for a quote, etc.

Re: European pals (zwede)
Dude, your beer is freezing.
Then I shall try with Klintberg-o-way and give Real Steal a chance. I have already asked the USA cars b.v. for a quote.
Last Sunday I asked Scoggin-Dickey parts center, Texas for a quote including shipping, but they hasn't answered yet.... :confused:
