Re: Shipping an engine

Really...  Saves time and trouble and money for all concerned as long as you 
do this with some consideration for the buyer and the people you get to haul 
it.
Just make sure it is secure and clean and drained and can be handled by 
them.

Truck shipping for items like this is nearly prohibitive for us pecuniarly 
handicapped Rambler fans.
