Yup, check Forward Air. I'll add to that, a new subsidiary of UPS, UPS
Logistics. Shane Ingate on the 6-Pack list (no, not what you're thinking)

door-to-door, for $191."
Bare blocks, if cleaned at your machine shop, are not given HAZMAT status!
So spend the extra $40 to have it boiled, and save a lot in the
environmental fees that the freighters stick on (some don't bother, but some
do). I had an OD Gearbox shipped to me from MO, via Forward Air, and it
required no caustic/harmful materials status even though it did have some
oil left in it and some grease on the outside.
Bare A Series engine blocks will ship UPS, I've on more than one occasion
just dropped them in a box and shipped them right through regular UPS. B
Series blocks are a bit bigger and quite a bit heavier.
