Jim
I am a racer based in SoCal and this is what I do for a living. I provide shipping services to a variety of industrial customers and routinely ship crated or palletized trannies, blocks, or even complete engines all over the US, Canada, & Mexico. My rates are competitive with any internet based company and you can put a face to the name.
For example, a 500lb big block Chrysler was just shipped from LA to Reno for about $125.00. Rates are different for all locations but I'd be happy to quote on anything you might need.
My email is

Of course, this service is available to all racers, shops, or basically anybody who needs help.
