[Shop-talk] Shipping an engine from UK to US

[Pat Horne]

I priced having an exhaust system shipped from UK to US. $120! That’s for a sports car, 2 pieces of pipe, 1 smaller muffler & a small resonator. 

Cheapest way to get the engine delivered might be to find someone sending a conex container this way & adding it. I understand that the price is the same empty or full. 

Peace,
Pat

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: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950s-Daimler-3-5ltr-6-cylinder-engine/284196165869
 
Thanks,
