Im going to be getting an engine shipped to me, and its 375lbs. The guy thats shipped it told me that its $265 to ship it to a station, and 90 more to ship it to my door.
Who do you use to ship an engine? Is this about normal for a heavy engine? Its from Northcoast, Ohio (gussing 43440 zip) to Modesto, California (95350 zip). Thanks a ton Andrew |

Even after the informative conversation that I had with Brad, I still think that I am going to get the 2.8 v6 engine in the classifieds. I have some good reasons not to go with the engine, but my main reason is the fact that, if (and when) my engine does go kerput, I dont want to be forking out 2k or more to rebuild my engine, and for only 100hp. I'll be getting a solid, reliable engine with more hp (claimed 210, I'll test that on a dyno when I get it). Yes it weights more, and Yes I have to plumb a radiator setup, But I'll be putting some fiberglass parts on my car, and I will be needing a radiator setup if I went with a EJ20TT or SBC anyways (besides, daddy says I cant drive it if I put a SBC in it.. I dont blame him).
