Shipping a Block
So I put my old Mexican 302 block on Craigs List and got a call from a guy in Utah who is interested. Anyone had any experience shipping a bare block? I have a Dart SHP 302 coming this week so that should cover packaging if UPS doesn't bust it up. Suggestions on this?

Mark Kirby, a racer and Class Racer member, can fix you up. He operates Lynn Traffic Service, and does a great job.

Re: Shipping a Block
I have used R&L as well. If you are close to their terminal you can ship terminal to terminal and it saves a bit. Deliver it to the terminal on one end and pick it up at a terminal at the other end.

Re: Shipping a Block
I used Fastenal for a differential housing. They only require the item be secured to a pallet. Don’t be in a hurry though. Check their website look for “third party shipping”.

Re: Shipping a Block
Thanks,all. I'll look into all of these alternatives. UPS figures out to around $500 door to door.

Re: Shipping a Block
What is weight?
Ship from zip code and ship to zip code and I’ll give you a freight quote. |
