Geonovast Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm 1/2 Serious...what would it cost to pull and crate up an engine and send it this way? :eek: Probably more than it would cost to build your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and you'd have to talk the guy into/pay him to pull the motor and sell the truck without a motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfreeman616 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 what zip code? anyone know how much that engine would weigh? if you pay the price for the entire truck and shipping, i would do it as long as the timeline works with my upcoming move across town. i have access to pallets for free, too.

A long block 4.0, IIRC weighs somewhere around 575-600lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfreeman616 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 assuming 600lbs and shipping to 95066 zip code, freight would be about $550 if you have a loading dock or forklift to unload with, or $640 if you need the delivery truck to have a lift gate. that's according to freightcenter.com using daylight transport or roadway.

SuperWade2 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Thanks for checking all of this... nearly $2K for an engine of unknown condition, shipped 1/2 way across the US is probably not a great investment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, considering you can build yourself a 4.7 stroker for about that. My cost (ESTIMATES) For parts so far is about $1,200. That's not factoring in machining however. And I'm replacing everything other than block, head, crank, oil pan, and valve cover. Now I just need the money to start buying the stuff..

dfreeman616 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 i called him, he'd take $1000 for it and everything he has. he also does have receipts from doing the stroker project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
