    i have used interstate truck transport before, just google it and look for a company in your area. also try uship.com as that is a good way if you get lucky and find it a ride.

    Just google " freight quotes "..........you'll get several brokers web sites. I've done that successfully from time to time.....Things got where they were going, no problems, and for what seemed to me to be reasonable cost.

    R&L works pretty good and will deliver to a residential address....

    My first thought would be "ROAD TRIP".....do it, it would be fun. Get up at 2am and hit the road.....

    Pontiac OHC 6 cal ?? Neat choice. My guess as to weight.....Long block meaning no manifolds or other accessories ........less pallet. 425 lbs + or - a few.....

    just called highway freight and are 100 more then 2 others i got so far.

    its 230 ohc stroked to 300 should be wicked when im done. need to lower compression and add boost and maybe small shot of juice. So far 450 full motor i found for weight and know the manifold and intake are 50-75 easy.
