i have heard of people doing this with Nissan Skylines from Japan, they ship the motor and car in two seperate containers then build them here, but i do not know what the legal aspect of doing such a thing is

When you import a rolling chassis from Canada to the US, you just remove the engine and tranny. It is considered a bunch of auto parts. Install your drivetrain in the US and you're legal.
