Re: Spun Rod bearing 3.8

if LKQ does not ship to canada;
first- might email them and see if they do not ship residential, if they ship commercial?
i had them ship an audi trans. once to puerto rico, but i could not 'receive' it down there for the customer.. i had to have it shipped to a shop there and pay the freight..
two- if that is not option, could get it shipped to shop in buffalo.. then go pick up; i know, its couple hundred miles each way, but still, if you cannot find up there, might be an option..
3- find a complete other Pontiac (i have 2 S10s and 3 Fieros specifically for spares out here in the outback, while i find replacements) and have a transport company deliver; or fly down and drive it back.. i know that sounds extreme, but if you are attached, then it might be worth..
one in dayton, ohio:

HOWEVER- the newer TransSports are similar priced, less miles, and easier to find..
97-99 are found down here with 77-180k for $1000-1500 fully running:

i do not know up there, where the magical date/year was that everything starts becoming obsolete, but when i rebuilt a 196" Allis-Chalmers/AMC 6cyl. engine for a '63 Nash Rambler, i could've built 3 small block chevy engines..

the last option, might be to find a Buick/Olds/Pontiac from pre-94/95 with your 3.8, and buy the whole car; knowing it is in the drive for a swap and rebuild??
