Well I found and bought a 3.2 for my conversion. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Of course the damned thing is located in Washington DC.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Now I need a cost effective way to get it to Joe in New Mexico. Any ideas?

shop around. i think randy and i both got our engines shipped for less than $150. iirc, mine was $85 one time and $117 the second, dock to dock. something to note. for cheapo you only will get an insured rate based on pennies per pound, not the actual market value, so that is a upgrade. so your $5000 engine (just an example) weighs 600lbs, multiply the by $.05 or .06 and that's what your going to get if something goes wrong. call casey at fq. f.q is not an actual trucking co. they broker space on trucks. where the terminal your item is delivered to is pretty important. casey was great to work with. f.a.f and roadway were both substancially more money when i was getting my qoutes.
