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

Tom, while there have been a number of shipping companies suggested, packag=

urely strapped to a pallet, but that does not offer much protection. =C2=A0=
The engine should really be enclosed in a crate. =C2=A0I ship my Miata engi=

=C2=A0Looking for the collective wisdom of the FOT.

=C2=A0I need to move an engine from Danville Pa, to northern Vermont (Westf=

Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions are appreciated.
