Joe,

When you shipped your engine, was it just the head and block or with =
carbs, alternator, starter, etc. attached?

Thanks,

Tom, while there have been a number of shipping companies suggested, =
packaging the engine was not mentioned.  At a minimum it will need to be =
securely strapped to a pallet, but that does not offer much protection.  =
The engine should really be enclosed in a crate.  I ship my Miata =
engines in a specific engine shipping container.  I made a steel frame =
in the container to secure the engine.  The small block Chevy engine =
container (Scribner Plastics 5108CHEV Engine Case on Amazon for $267) =
works well.  With the cost of lumber and the time to make a crate, it =
might be easier to buy and use the container.  It's been costing me =
around $500 to ship from MA to KS via FedEx Freight.

 Looking for the collective wisdom of the FOT.

 I need to move an engine from Danville Pa, to northern Vermont =
(Westfield), and have no idea where to start.

Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions are appreciated.
