Engine Shipping???

For those of you that have shipped motors in the past, please advise the carrier of choice. ALso for quoting purposes, what DIMENSION and WEIGHT would you use. Thanks

Re: Engine Shipping???

I am trying to get a 2001 r1 motor shiped to me from arizona to california. I just did a shipping estimate on ups.com and it was $326 dollars.

I think I will try forward air. Does anyone know the best price for shipping a motor to me?

Re: Engine Shipping???

i read the r1 motor is 175lbs. i don know know the dimensions.
I heard that these jap motors fit snug in those rubbermaid containers sold at walmart and are easy shippers

$150 through forwardair.com seems to be the cheapest rate.
