   I can strongly NOT recommend CFR Rinkens  ( cfrrinkens.com ).   
Although they will be the cheapest by throwing your engine in a 
container with who knows what else...throwing is the correct word and 
then it will sit on docks for months in random ports.  But they will be 
cheap and it will arrive only a few months late.

   I can find out who the body builder building my cars body is going to 
use, he has shipped bodies to the U.S. before and will be shipping mine 
in a few weeks.  He uses them because they do the palletizing and 
everything.

  This is for a coachbuilt car body tub, from cowl to rear, so a little 
larger than a engine but not much and being coachbuilt (wood frame with 
flimsy aluminum skin) I bet its actually lighter than a engine.

   I don't know that actual contact information but I am sure I can find 
out and at the rate he is cutting/shaping wood/fitting the skin, I will 
likely find out very soon anyway.  The price above is to California from 
Lincoln, UK.

A gun is like a parachute, if you need one but don't have it,
you'll probably never need one again.
