how to ship a engine?
i have a spare vg30dett engine im going to slap on ebay, im wondering how im going to go about shipping it, it takes about 3-4 people to lift, id guess its around 300lbs? maybe a bit more. do i put it on a pallet and wrap it up? where should i bring this bitch to? im in northern california if that makes any difference.

yeah throw it on a pallet, strap it down/band it(use cardboard or something along those lines to keep the traps from rubbing on the motor) then thrink rap the whole motor/pallet so its nice and sterdy.
then i would just call up local shipping companies for the best deal, you could iether bring the motor there or they'll pick it up for you.

You've proven how much of a ----- you really are by saying it takes 4 people to lift a 300lb engine. Anyway, go to www.dnafreight.com
They use forward air for terminal to terminal shipping and pilot air for door to door, terminal to door or door to terminal. You don't have to set up an account to ship with them either. Just register a name.
