How much to ship a shortblock (with internals)

[Smokey1226]

Just curious, i have a friend looking to ship me a shortblock that needs to be torn down and gone through for free. I just have to pay shipping from Canada to WI.

Im guessing 400lbs+?

Any ideas?

Im hopeing less than $300?!?!

might be around that price. the weight and it's coming from canada. i also hear the shipping takes forever.

i also hear the shipping takes forever.

Because of it coming from Canada? Or Because of its size?

 

[canibus]

the canada part, it may only be to ship to not from.

BTW a shortblock is a block with internals.

i know that, but this is SVTP and i wanted to help out the guys who would say why are you buying just a block without internals. It happens everyday :beer:

I guess it could be a crazy idea to take out the rods and just leave the pistons at the top of the cylinders so it looks right, and fill the cyclinders with Precription pills and what not. Because of them being so cheap up there. Damn that would be crazy, but he hasnt got back to me yet.
