Default Need block shipped from Fla. to Ct.

I am completing purchase of an empty SBC block, in a couple of weeks.
I need to get it from Florida to Connecticut.
Its a possibility, I can have it at the Memphis National (6/15-17).
I need help the rest of the way, in getting it to Ct.
If you are able, or know someone who is, I would appreciate it.
Thank you, Mike

Mike,


Have the person your buying the block from in Fla. find a Trucking Company that can deliver it to a depot close by in Conn...I use to send my Tranny's to TCI in Ala. to be rebuilt, in a heavy duty plastic tub ???
* Check it out , you may find it cheaper ?? Good Luck...

What Dave said, I have shipped 2 transmissions to Turbo Action on the same pallet for like $125. If you can't find another way truck freight is a good option if you do some research.

Thumbs up Re: Need block shipped from Fla. to Ct.

Mike, I've had really good luck shipping heavy parts from Florida to Pa and Indiana with R&L. You can really save a lot of money if you can find a business to ship it to and from. I have a buddy with a mower shop that he lets me ship from. The cost savings is huge.

I have also used R&L in the past to ship engines and transmissions. If you can get dock to dock at their terminal it is pretty reasonable. Also someone posted that Fastenal also does shipping. You might check in to that if they are local to your area.
