Economical engine shipping?

[halfafish]

Howdy folks. I'm looking at having a crated small block shipped from PA to WA. I know Fastenal is a thrifty way to do this, but they won't ship from one side of the country to the other. Has anyone else used another cost-effective method to get an engine shipped?

You are probably going to pay through the nose. It will most likely have to go by truck freight.

Thats going to cost, especially if it is to your door. Which will require a lift gate unless you have a fork lift.

Shipping is outrageous right now. Just stupid crazy.

Short block or long block? Crated or strapped to a pallet?

Long block in a crate. Should be about 575 lbs.

Probably cheaper to drive and pick it up.

Ugh.... I just checked my source for a quote using my shipping account and it was $1100.

Well that's better than what I'm finding so far. Who are you using?

FEDEX sometimes has good rates. But man, and I know this is worth nothing, I'd help in a second if it was further south and I was able.
