Re: Shipping engine
I had mine shipped from Or to Az. The machine shop made a stand out of angle iron & bolted to the engine & pallet then made a plywood box for it.

Re: Shipping engine
I used to be involved with long haul shipping, machinery and the like. I would prefer bolts as mentioned above. Although I see no harm in using both.
The problem with banding or strapping is one: if finish surface is important there is need to use padding ( angle board ), Two: during long distance there occurs the need to retighten. This due to vibrations caused by the road. ( In a Heavy truck, the road gets rough at times ) Banding becomes slack allowing for more movement and chafing, or failure.

Re: Shipping engine
Can you put it in a crate, like a crate engine?

Re: Shipping engine
Another, related question. I just recently found Fastenal shipping and it sure beats standard truck shipping.
Are there any other low priced shippers for engine/transmission type items? Fastenal gives a price break, if the load is stackable but, not enough to cover the $190 cost of the crate.

Re: Shipping engine
I shipped a 99T to Sweden on a pallet,,wood blocks ,2 inch screws ,cheap ratchet straps from the big box store , sealed all opening with plastic wrap . I spent about 40 bucks and an hour or so .I had the pallet. You want customs to be able to check it out easily so I didnt box it

Re: Shipping engine
Not all Fastenal locations have forklifts. Check with the actual store before hand. Don't ask me how I know.

Re: Shipping engine
I make large wooden blocks that are screwed to the palette - that hold the engine up under the pan rails - and the water pumps (if a 37 or later engine). I take the starter off. I like to carry the load on the pan rails and by using blocks of wood, kind of holds the engine in place as well. Then I'd use ratchet straps to hold it in place.

Re: Shipping engine
Fastenal rates are good. I used them and they did a good job. Just be aware that their 'insurance' pays scrap metal prices.
Also, interestingly, they told me I had to completely box the engine. I guess it depends on who you talk to at Fastenal.

Re: Shipping engine
Of course bolts! My recommendation is not to bolt the engine directly to the pallet. You can rather bolt it to a wooden or metal stand first. You can search on the internet for pics!
