Shipping a motor.
What is the best way to ship a complete sbc? Freight company or a company that hauls cars and parts?

Re: Shipping a motor.
I had a SBC from NJ to AZ shipped by freight company. We didnt know each other and I sent half and when it arrived freight company allowed me to open crate and check it out and I was happy and paid freight company the balance. It was a good deal for everyone.

Re: Shipping a motor.
Fastenal does internal shipping for a reasonable price, if he crates it or puts it on a pallet, and drops it off to the closest one to him, they will deliver it to the fastenal of your choice. and when you pick it up you pay shipping.

Re: Shipping a motor.
If you can palletize it securely and deliver it to them and have arrangements on the other end a freight company will be PK. They will charge more for liftgate delivery especially to a residence. Best bet is for you to drop off and receiver to pick up at the freight company dock.

Re: Shipping a motor.
I have shipped several engines and transmissions with R&L Carriers. Easy to deal with and the service was fast and reliable. The best price is if you pick it up at their dock. Give them a call for a quote.

Mark Kirby (also a class racer) of Lynn Traffic Services will get the job done and will provide guidance on crating, etc.

Re: Shipping a motor.
One more, I shipped a complete engine from Calif. to Florida for a very reasonable price fully insured using Forward Air. Just needed to crate motor and deliver it to their location and it was picked up in Florida at their facility.
