I'd be interested if you weren't able to sell locally, and would ship.
PM me if it gets to that point.
thanks

id ship, but i have no idea how to ship it since its so heavy

[ColdAccord]

take it to R+L carriers or DHL or some other freight shipper. They wrap it in industrial seran wrap, put it on a pallet, and ship it to a business address (one with a loading dock).

I've had great luck with www.baxglobal.com.

that block as it sits is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 200lbs. Throw it on a pallet, and call bax global up.

You can also put a non-vanos head on this sucker.

You can also remove the crank, pistons, and rods and ship it through Fedex Ground to a business address, and separately box up the crank, pistons, and rods.

I did this a few months ago with an S50. The S50 block weighs around 105 lbs, and with all the packing material it weighed around 120 or so. Shipping wasn't too out of control for pricing. The crank weighs around 55-60 lbs.

If you remove the crank and pistons it will weight much less. I can lift an empty M50 steel block by myself so I know an empty aluminum block would be even lighter.

Get a big ass Rubbermaid container from Wal-Mart for $15 and pack it in that and ship it via FedEx or UPS. Probably cost you $50-$60 tops. I shipped an entire 5spd swap for a 635csi in a big ass Rubbermaid container for $85 via FedEx Ground so I know it's feasible.

no need to take it apart, it weighs in around 130 complete. I Can ship thats not the issue, I'd rather not tho because its a hassle and it's expensive.
bump,

will include new guides, tensioners, timing chains and case gaskets
