Anyone ever bought a car engine in Canada and brought it back to the US?

I have a line on a free engine for my current restoration project, but it’s in Canada. I’m assuming I have to do something to bring it back across the border, but googling exactly what is difficult.

Anyone know what I need to know?

How old is the car?

From a 1992 Landcruiser.

It has to be 25 years old if it's a non US certified motor (some Canadian ones are)

That’s not accurate, based on the link above

So for an engine alone it's section 3.2, which states if it's not the same type of motor

Depending on state, I’m doubtful it needs to pass emissions.

Thanks for link...I couldn’t find that for some reason. I won’t be required to do emissions testing.

If it's a US engine it shouldn't be an issue.

I saw the picture and thought. "Is he David Tracy?"

It’s not a Jeep, but you got the rusty part right.

I'm not sure, but I bet some CBers would gladly pay to drive across the country and bring it back.
