the sucker king Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I have a fellow board member asking me about shipping an ea71 engine to him, we are both in the lower 48. Never having done this, what the best, easiest cheapest way? not terribly big, no intake on it, basically just the block and heads. Anyone done this?

scoobiedubie Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wrap it in plastic, then strap it to pallet with straps that cannot loosen up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skishop69 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 +1 on how to Package it. Since you're fairly close to Denver, I would check with Forward Air shipping. Misleading name. It's all trucking. They do however have the cheapest shipping rates for things like this since they are shipped by dimensional weight. IE: How much other crap could we jam in there for the same weight and make more. I have shipped many arcade games this way and is by far the cheapest for odd/heavy items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
