Looking for 318

Don't have an engine, but you might look into Yellow Freight for shipping. Bought a Mini engine and gearbox from CA. Weight is about 350 lbs or so. He drained it, wrapped it in plastic pallet wrap, wrapped it in card board and then another layer of pallet wrap plastic around it. Then strapped it to a pallet he must have got from behind some local store. He used proper cam type tie downs to do it.

Probably could be put together in the bed of a truck and that way you would not have to worry about how to get the wrapped engine up on there.

He then took the thing to a Yellow freight terminal. Shipped it to me as household goods of all things. Arrived to the local Yellow Freight terminal and me and a mate just went down, paid the ship bill (about $150 if I remember right) and they forked it into the back of his truck.

Maybe cheaper out there, but just thought I'd chime in with a possible for you on ship from somewhere. I thought it was pretty resonable and the whole process seemed pretty painless.

Best of luck!

Cheers
