Default 416/418 Build

Hey guys, just picked up a L9H block and planning on building 416/418, just wondering where some of you order stroker kit's from with in Canada. Just trying to avoiding buying from the US, the last stroker I built I got nail with shipping costs. Any help would be great!!

Unless you are close enough to the border you are pretty much screwed unless you can talk the seller into shipping by US post and I would think a stroker kit would be too heavy for the post office. Other wise its a road trip to save on the brokerage fees.

Good call, bringing it across is always a gamble for taxes...

Just curious, if you live on an island, are you not going to get dinged with higher shipping no matter what?

You will pay taxes no matter what, Canada or the USA.

That said, Champion is a good proven source.

Good luck with the project.

PS, if you plan to let it sit in your garage for three year, you could save the money! That just might be me though.
