Shipping from Ontario to Florida advise needed .
« on: Tuesday,June 28, 2022, 10:38:02 AM »
  Two questions.
 Looking into shipping a complete 841-11 complete short block from Ontario to Florida.
Anyone ship this heavy of a package?
 
  I’m checking on the motor mount location since it is not on the engine donor list. I do know some mount locations are different on the Renault motors but is anyone familiar with this engine?

You should consider shipping it by bus. Back when I was racing (and dinosaurs roamed the earth) I used to ship MG Midget blocks by bus. It was the least expensive way to go then. I would guess it still is.

  I’ll check with the seller, and see if he will take it apart and ship that way. All I wanted was the block , but when he sent picture it was block , liners , pistons, cam. Better pictures coming soon from seller.

I would take it across the border and ship it by UPS or Fed Ex ground
