crate motor frieght charges

Can anyone tell me what the paid for frieght when they bought thier crate motors? I am contemplating buying a 89 350 TPI at an awesome price. But, I am moving soon and really don't have the time, and can't risk something going wrong with a motor swap. So I want to ship it. (yes, It is that good of a deal)
Any help?
Thanks...
Andy

depends on here you are and where it comes from. look in the yellow pages for trucking co. call and ask them what it'll cost. you'll have to get it to them and pick it up at the terminal. i know someone that bought a BBC and cost him around 350 for shipping and had to drive 45 miles to pick it up.

I ordered the 350ho crate engine from Jim Pace and it cost me $140 to ship to a local buisness/auto garage. Not to mention his price for the crate engine is sub $2000 while most suppliers ask $180 more!
