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.

<br> 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.

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.
