        We have enough question marks here?


        500 seems about right.

          Thanks, will have to look close to home. The shipping would be the cost of the engine:).
          thanks, again,

              It won't be much cheaper but you can ship an engine from one fastenal location to another through fastenal. You just have to pick it up and drop it off at the store

                      It's called Geocaching.


                      But in all seriousness, what engine are you looking for?

                          Seems like if it is on a pallet, you can ship it with UPS/Fedex/DHL Freight. No idea on cost though, but they usually have lifts on their trucks and a pallet jack to make things easy.

                            strap it to a pallet and then box it in the pallet with 2x4's and ply wood. Take it to a freight company and they will put it on one of there trucks and take to the closets hub to its destination and then the buyer has to go and pick it up and sign the bill of lading. Thats how I ship motors.
