shipping an engine
I had one shipped to me. The guy had just got a crate engine from MP and shipped me his old LA engine in the same crate he had the MP shipped to him. It was on a two piece stand that bolted to the front mounts and rear ears. That stand was then bolted to the bottom of a large, heavy duty blue plastic tub with a top that was bolted to the bottom. The whole deal was then strapped to a pallet. It was shipped by "Old Dominion Freight" and I picked it up at the shipping yard. IIRC, it was about $150 to ship.
