I will be shipping my 2.7 soon to another clubmember, and want to build a strong crate for shipping forwardair. I just have a pallet so far.
What I need is Do's and Don'ts and gotcha's others have learned, and maybe a shopping list for home depot, I plan pre building it as much as possible so I can connect the box "crate" to the engine and pallet once it is in my truck. TIA Ferg. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Make sure that the engine is sealed up. Tape over Ports after stuffing with paper towles Then Bag in 10 mil trash Bag I use two. The small bits of pacling peanut will find there way into the engine if you dotn seal it up and bag it.
