Ok group.  I might be able to get a rebuilt engine for my 1956 Daimler Regency 
'104'.  However, it's in England and I need to somehow arrange for its 
shipping.  And possibly its packing (palletizing, I guess?).

Gulp - the prices are mind boggling.

Does anyone have any tips or guidance?

Know of a reputable company that will handle an engine?

It's a 3.5 litre straight six that doesn't skimp on the cast iron.  I don't 
know weight - I'm going to have to try to weigh one that I have that's a 
complete short block with head but damaged. 

If you're bored enough to look at it here's the ebay link:

Thanks,
