Shipping a Block
 

So I put my old Mexican 302 block on Craigs List and got a call from a guy in Utah who is interested. Anyone had any experience shipping a bare block? I have a Dart SHP 302 coming this week so that should cover packaging if UPS doesn't bust it up. Suggestions on this?

Mark Kirby, a racer and Class Racer member, can fix you up. He operates Lynn Traffic Service, and does a great job.

I used R&L Carriers
happy with them
Block was on pallet
I had forklift at both ends
to avoid lift-gate charge
watch that

I have used R&L as well. If you are close to their terminal you can ship terminal to terminal and it saves a bit. Deliver it to the terminal on one end and pick it up at a terminal at the other end.

Fastenal will ship from store to store very reasonably. -Al

I used Fastenal for a differential housing. They only require the item be secured to a pallet. Don’t be in a hurry though. Check their website look for “third party shipping”.

Thanks,all. I'll look into all of these alternatives. UPS figures out to around $500 door to door.

Talk to Mark Kirby. I paid half of that to ship a Chevy block from Phoenix, AZ to Mooresville, NC

What is weight?

Ship from zip code and ship to zip code and I’ll give you a freight quote.

Weight is around 150.
