One thing that is very important when shipping an engine freight is packing i=
t properly. It needs to be bolted (at the engine mounts, usually) to solidly=
 built frame, which is bolted to a top quality pallet, and then have a crate=
 built around it.  The crate has to be strong enough to hold whatever the fr=
eight company puts on top of it. =20

I contacted a friend who has shipped cars and motorcycles back and forth =
across the Atlantic.=20
He gave me the following information about a shipper with a very good =
track record.

Gallagher Transport in Boulder, CO.
720-225 9870
Ask for Yvonne Martinez
Say that she was recommended by Wendy Wychoff (My friend=E2=80=99s =
daughter).
They will need to know if the engine has already been purchased, and =
whether tax and duty has been paid.

<https://www.gallaghertransport.com>

I respect my friend=E2=80=99s opinion on such things without =
reservation.
He said that he would send me their email address.
