Re: shipping question
I don't have shipper recomendations, since they are pretty common everywhere. Just a recount of my past experience.
A while ago I shipped a V-6 from SoCal up to Idaho. I used a shipping company that came to my place to pick it up. The only thing they required was that it was on a pallet, and didn't contain any oil or anything else that would be a hazard. I can't remember the actual cost to do this, but I do remember it wasn't cheap. Since they charge by weight and size. If I were to do it again, I would get a pallet and build a box around the parts. It would have made the pricing better for me, since they wanted exact dimensions. In my case I just secured the motor to the pallet, and then shrink wraped it. This apparently added more cost to my bill, since they couldn't stack anything on it. So it was like shipping a refrigerator!

Re: shipping question
I just shipped an engine, try ABF freight internet quote. Any local LTL carrier can do it though.
http://www.shipabf.com/default.asp?NLO=s2rq&try=Y Your probably looking at 200 to 250 bucks shipping. It is cheaper if you can pickup and drop off at the dock. Liftgate service is expensive too. Last edited by Elephanthead; 03-22-2009 at 03:45 PM. |

Re: shipping question
list it on www.Uship.com and let them bid on it...this works for everything from cats & dogs to shipping your truck or mother inlaw...
but it's going to need to be on a pallet......and oil/fluid free
