Could you ship it?

I've heard of people shipping over weight items like this through Fastenal. You should try it!

 

[imiceman44]

Could you ship it?

I could.
Find a fastenal close to you and see if you can ship there and let me know and I will figure it out on my end.

It's a long block meaning no accessories or carb and intake.
You can use all that stuff from your engine.
It's been bored 30 over already but it 's in good shape and should be a runner.
The only thing you want to ask your guys is that this engine has sat in my shed for the past 10 years.
I changed the oil in it before I stored it but didn't do anything else to prepare for long rerm storage.

And alternator, a/c, power steering...

Wasn't waiting for you.
I know you are on the other side of the country.
I have been busy too so now I am not and bringing my post to the top

 

[beags86]

Are you willing to ship?

 

[imiceman44]

Are you willing to ship?

Yes

 

[beags86]

Yes

Willing to check a shipping price for me?

I will see what I can find.
You're midwest right?
Get me a zip and i'll also check with some truckers I know they go midwest.
Do you have a place to receive with a dock or any equipment that can lift off the tail?
It will help with the rate.
I expect the shipping to be no less than the cost of the engine

 

[beags86]

That's the problem while 300 is a decent price for a 400, if it cost me 300 to ship it, it's not worth it for me. 400 are not that rare. And even less people want them now with LS's.
Anyways I don't have a dock. Last time I shipped something like this I backed my pick up to the door and muscled the pallet across. I would do the same. Or pick with my cherry picker.
I'll check Fastenal tomorrow. Even though I think they are a worthless, shit store.

Zip code is 60014

If it doesn't work out for @beags86, I'm interested.

So far shipping options are more than the engine.
I say you're local let's make the now.

Feel free man, it no big deal to me. I was just going to grab it if no one local wanted it.
I don't need it. And shipping ends up killing it for an engine just to lay in the shed.
