Shipping engine long block TX to OR
I'm looking for a way to get a 356 engine long block from Texas to Oregon. Is someone on the forum traveling that direction? Or suggestions on a reasonable carrier would be appreciated.

strap it to a pallet and use yellow or estes trucking. My guess is about $250

Shrink wrap and Palletize it. Then build a frame around and over it, a strong one, so if they put another pallet on top of it it can support the weight. Cover the frame with plywood or heavy cardboard. Mark the outside "TOP LOAD ONLY" on all five sides.

My crates have gone all over the world and never failed. Start with a good strong pallet.
