It makes me shudder to even think about what the shipping, currency exchange, and import duties would be on this. Probably it would have to be put in a mixed/less than load container and have to go by ship. Or Fedex might be able to handle it. You might be better off to get a factory remanufactured engine from Porsche if they're still available. Or have your engine repaired. What's a big end failure?

Just remember, you need an engine from model years 2000 to 2003. Probably your first effort should be to look for an engine in S. Africa--you're going to have to really "beat the bush" so to speak. Sorry I couldn't resist. Next, I would think the UK or Europe.

Sorry, it's the hazards of having a fairly rare car so far off the beaten track.
