Light grey, my friend, light grey. Using state-specific regulation to bypass the Federal regulations.

Also, merely taking the drivetrain out to ship those won't work:

1. You'll need a higher degree of dissassembly (like splitting it into three shipments, I know of at least one case where Customs questioned a BJ42 that came in without engine/tranny/t-case but otherwise complete, and that's going to be even more obvious with a nice shiny 80 series)

2. There's no doubt that you can skirt regulations with the method above, but the registration will be full-blown gray market, I would not recommend this (not on the record, anyway)....
