Guys,

Where would be the cheapest place to order in the LT4 HOT cam from in the UK? If it costs approx $180 in the US I am guessing on about £180. Would prefer to use a Brit company to avoid VAT and customs...


Any ideas?

Cheers,
Felix

 

Miss out the middle man in the UK and source it from the U.S. Have a look on ebay, they should come up there.

 

Thanks Rob. What could I expect to pay in import and carriage costs though? Would customs have fun with me?

Update!!!

Have just ordered one through Ebay. $215 excluding shipping and import duties. Any ideas what the duties will be?

Thanks,
Felix

 

I think you could have got it a little cheaper than that. I would ask them to ship it without a value on the packaging and send the receipt seperatley to dodge the C&E people.

The other thing you could do is get it shipped to a friend in the U.S. and get them to ship it out that way.

I take it you are fitting it yourself? What gains are you expecting?

 

Have you tried Peter Cooper ?

 

Hi guys,

Rob, it seemed like the best deal at the moment. Out of interest I was quoted £365 from a uk importer who shall remain nameless... Becuase of the weak dollar at the moment it has cost me £115 + shipping which is good enough for me. He is putting down a far lower figure on the declaration form to help me out which is cool- saying it is 2nd hand!!

I don't think I'll fit it myself- not really comfortable doing the job. Gains are proven as 40 BHP and 15 lb/ft torque I'll be happy with that!

Boydee, tried Peter Cooper before but this is a bit too niche for him. I used him for remidial stuff all the time- e.g brakes and bushes. "it wasn't in the storrreee out baaaackkkk" as he likes to say bless him

 

ZZ4 Fast,
Hope youve got the roller rockers you need in with that cam.
Ive now ordered my new ZZ4 with hotcam and Holley Stealth Ram MPFI.
All came from Sallee Chevrolet

Hi PM,

Congrats on the engine man, I know you'll love it.

The ZZ comes with roller rockers so will be fine.

Cheers,
