I paid Fedex $75.00 from Cleveland to Indiana ( Lingenfelter ). I had to take the shortblock to them at their dock. I used the 'mini-crate' that Lingenfelter sent me the new one on; me and my wife picked it up and put it in the back of my Aztek. It's light with no heads or fluids.

I found NO trucking company that would come to my residential street, of if they did they wanted an extra $100 to get it ON the truck from your driveway/garage.

Longblock is 390'ish so take off weight for the intake and heads. I just searched 'shortblock weight' on this site to get that answer.

Any common carrier is going to be cheaper for ground freight than FedX/UPS.
