Default shipping an engine.
Ok so there's probably already a post about this, but my search isn't working for some reason.
Anyways I am trying to find a reliable company to ship my engine from Columbus, Ohio. To Indianapolis. Any help would be great and I'm not trying to spend a **** ton of money to do it. Lol of only I had a friend with a truck this would be much eaiser

It's only 175 miles. It'd probably cost you less to rent a pickup truck.

+1 for going to pick it up. Got a buddy with a truck? Or a B-Body wagon?

I ship a lot of things and have shipped engines....it will cost more for you to ship that rather than drive it. Have the buyer pick it up or drive it to him for a fee.
