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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif)

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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) 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
