Her shipped it FedEx, whatever their overseas equivalent of “ground” is. I would have never considered them, but it was under $200 to St. Louis. That was more than 10 years ago, but I believe he is still using FedEx, which tells me they are still a cost-efficient way to go.<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 1, 2021, at 4:06 PM, Mark Watson <<a href="mailto:watsonm05@comcast.net" class="">watsonm05@comcast.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

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?).

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.
