ask SLITS to help you.
He has direct pricing with Central Transport and can help (maybe) do a third-party shipment for you.....
ForwardAir was also a company that was given to me to help ship things.

I read this and only 2 things came to mind.
First was a cardboard box.
Second was inside a running 914-6.
Guess I'm just in a trouble causing mood.

There may be a frieght company that will pick up if on a pallet/crate.
They'll use a pallet jack and their lift gate. Pay and wave.

the most important item is on the recieving end...does the new owner have a method to remove the item from the truck, not all trucks will have a liftgate..also most companies charge more for delivering to a house instead of a business.

Try Forward Air. I had mine shipped from Canada to Ohio for about $200. I think Jake uses them also.

Jake used to use Forward Air, but I don't think he does anymore. Is this engine a core or a runner? If it's a runner you should really build a crate around it. Does it have the fan & shroud on it or induction on it? Then you should really really build a crate around it. Build it big and sturdy enough that you would be willing to set another pallet on top of it. 
Or take it to a shipping co and let them take responsibility.
I think that $200-$250 sounds about right.

1st learn how to spell "longblock"
2nd...I'm checking and will get back to you. Terminal to terminal shipment (the receiver better have a p/u truck). Block strapped to pallet & shrink wrapped.
Cost + $25 + 100% commission for irritation = your cost

I like BAX Global. Just shipped the driveline from an STi...850lb in a crate 4'x4'x3' and it only cost $350 Detroit to NY with home delivery on a truck with a lift gate. They have a really nice shipping calculator.

The only hitch is that you need to have an account set up ahead of time. Easy to do by calling the local sales office. Took 5 minutes on the phone and a 12 hour wait to get my account number.

Ok buttboy.....$200 from Riverside, CA to Orlando, FL....held at terminal for their pickup. 1 pallet, 400 lbs......Central State Trucking.
Actually, $180 + $20 for pallet, irritation and paperwork thru company.
