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.
