Any ideas on cost to ship a nailhead engine form Dana Point California 92629 to minnesota 56055, I'm trying to pencil this deal out to see if common sense dollar wise. Thank Rob
Check with freight (truck) companies at the starting point. They all have specific requirements and varying costs. Expect to pay in the area of $500. .
I've used Uship.com on many occasions with great success. I've had cars, engines, etc. delivered from across the country at very reasonable prices. They also have a cost estimator based on recent transactions.
PM thirtytwo on here....he is currently in California and will be coming back to southern Minnesota in a couple weeks. he has a S-10 pickup. if you don't make contact here, i can give you his cell phone number
I use U ship to ship motors LTL . Price was very reasonable and service good. All you need for sure is it must be on a pallet and somewhere with a fork lift or loading ramp for pick up. I ship to the nearest truck Terminal. I believe it was Carol at U-ship who told me when I first did it and said I didnt know how "Dont you worry none, honey, we will walk you through it." And she did bless her pea-pickin heart. I shipped a 5.7 hemi block from NC to Watertown New York. $97 Don
Try BenD, he just shipped a motor and transmission from California to Texas for me at a very resonable cost.
I used www.fowardair.com a few years ago to ship a longblock flathead and paid around $450 from an Alabama dock to my house in California.
