I have no way of weighing a T-4 motor for a shipping quote. Does anybody have a pretty good idea what a 2.0L T-4 long block with all the following components mounted:
All the cooling tins Fan housing with fan, Alternator & dizzy Flywheel, clutch and pressure plate assembly (Yes, it has 1.7L heads, but it's a 2.0L)   |

Stu, sometimes being argumentative is just not helpful. How many motors have you shipped? none of us are guessing... I have shipped one 356 motor strapped to a pallet, wrapped in plastic wrap. It had dents and scratches when it arrived in CA. I will never do that again. I build a protective box now, that can take a hit from a forklift, and can survive a fall off the back of a truck. not worth shipping it cheap if you have to deal with the hassle of damage when it arrives. |
