has anyone got an engine shipped before? roughly how much did you pay, and did you have to pay for a crane/whatever to get it off and onto the truck... how does all that work? can it be done with an engine crane?
anyway, the distance is gladstone qld to melbourne (roughly)... so any ideas?
i need to work out some figures, and thought some rough ideas and what you found were good prices would be great, thanks guys... im going to do some calls on monday

ive been prices $150 to send an engine from my work place to down melbourne area...they said they could get it off no problems solong as i could get it on at my end..I then found another place which ships bricks which charged my a carton of crownies and they chucked on the back of the truck so in the end its just who you meet by accident

I paid $200 for my engine/wiring/gearbox package to be sent on a pallette from Adelaide to my house. I rang them to make sure they brought a truck with a hydraulic back on it, and he used a pallette jack to wheel it off. We wheeled it straight onto the trailer I had waiting for it.
