Rough estimate, you'd be looking at around $200, not counting any up charges needed for lift gate service, etc. Take five days to get there.

 

See how much it would cost to put it on a greyhound bus. they handle stuff like that.

Greyhound wont take anything over 100 pounds.

 

Probably wants a spare in case something goes horribly wrong. I'd be afraid that if I had a spare engine I'd get tempted to do something reckless.

 

there's a complete engine/trans/primary near me for $2500 on craigslist

 

I'm pretty sure it's no where near 225lbs. I'm thinking maybe 125lbs, but that's just a guess as well. We just dropped a friends engine off for a rebuild at a local machine shop. I just grabbed it in a bear hug from the bottom of the cylinders, carried it 60' into the shop, and set it in an engine stand on the bench by myself. I know I can't do that with 225lbs.

 

I picked mine up. If it's 225 I have been making some gains!

 

My old shovel engine was nowhere near 225, lot more iron in it.

The motor itself doesn't weigh 225...but we are talking shipping weight...the motor plus the pallet, and whatever wooden crate you build around it to survive the trip...225 is probably not too far off for shipping weight...a standard pallet weighs 40lbs alone

 

Have it shipped in a garbage can that way you can drag it past your wife, know someone that did this and worked out well for them with no questions asked.
