I'm looking for a 258 and would possibly take it, but would pay more to ship than for the engine probably. Any idea what it would cost to ship to north AL, zip 35758?

i shipped a dana 300 t-case to washington state from michigan for just under $100, it weighed 106lbs, but i have no idea how much the engine will weigh, maybe 400lbs?

I may have someone that would be able to drive it down to you, i will check with him and get back to you.

my grandfather used to be a truck driver and said he would delliver it to you for $400-$500 in northern alabama. he said it is a 1600 mile round trip, which would be $.25 per mile. He also said it would weigh less than 400lbs probally 300lbs or so.

i am going to try and get some freight estimates just to see

if your seriously interested let me know

the plus side is that you will have a very good motor for under $1000

 

[jasonvess]

if the motor weighs 350lbs, fedex freight estimates shipping to be 320 to 450 depending which zip code and which class the engine would fall under.

I am open to any other ideas?

If you lived closer i would bring it for just the cost of gas

The dealership I work at just shipped a 532# motorcycle in a crate from Arkansas to Wisconsin with a truckline(ABF I think) for $235. Way cheaper than Fed-Ex

What class (for shipping) would an engine fall under? I haven't been able to fine this info anywhere.

If you do have to ship it, could you post the final weight. I think the long block assembly weighs about 350-360#. I'm really interested in knowing the weight with all of the accessories.
