I could ship, but i will charge you so much for my time and hassles that it will no longer be worth it for you. Sorry, but I am just being realistic.

This motor is VERY strong. You can't see it in the video, but we pushed it hard with no issues at all.

dude, shipping is so f'ing easy.
1) go to home depot/lowes and get a free pallet
2) take exhaust manifolds off and lay engine/trans on pallet with passenger side down.
3) load in back of yours or friend's pickup and drop off at freight depot of your choice.
4) ask them to shrink wrap the entire thing for free.
5) bam! done!

no offense, but your opinion about shipping is uneducated and stupid. this forum is viewed nationally(actually internationally). if you want a local sale, i might suggest confining your listing to your local craigslist. you just eliminated 95% of your potential market with that attitude. shipping across the country from the ne should cost 350.00 or less. your time to do this should cost less than 50.00 or more likely free. i've shipped about a dozen engines, transmissions, and other heavy parts this way and the cost is usually about 250 bucks or less with terminal drop off on shipper end/terminal pickup on the purchaser's end.

flyboyx, I appreciate your input. However doing what you described is a bit more complicated when living in NYC, having a job and having the motor 100 miles away. In order for me to borrow a van, pick up the motor, drop it off at shippers and return the van, I need to spend pretty much entire working day. Fortunately my day is worth more than $50 and gas and tolls in NYC add up to be a pretty penny.
