USPS doing their part to eliminate old Mopar parts

I’ve always said the post office doesn’t like to handle heavy packages. I bought a 273 intake off a member on here,Outsder, and this is what was delivered to me today. But I have to also say the the seller, Outsder, refunded all my money promptly. Kudos to him. I just hate that there is one less original 273 4bl intake in existence.

That would make a nice cut-away to look at the ports now that it's broke...


However, I do not see any packing in the box that it was shipped in... When you pack metal for shipping you need to pack it good and tight (goot-n-tight - that's German)...

If you can shake the box and feel or hear the load shift, then you need more packing - paper, air filled plastic, foam, etc...


I shipped a 273 4 bbl intake to California a few months back and it made the trip fine... I packed it in the flat rate box with lots of crumpled news paper and had it good and tight where it would not shift in the box when it was shaken...



Mail packages or luggage, you gotta assume that gorillas are going to handle it during shipping....
