Block was dropped off at FedEx hub and shipped to my business address with a forklift, on a freight account.
Maybe ask around local businesses, machine shops maybe? If you can ship there. Hell, when I worked at a CVS as a teenager we had a lifting dock for incoming shipments... Maybe you'll find something

I believe Fastenal stores will act as pickup points for commercial shipments. Or...perhaps they actually handle the shipping as well..It's worth calling them to inquire.

Sure I'll take pics. I'm a huge believer in FM for these cars, my data logs back to back stock IC vs ebay FM showed a substantial drop in IAT. My previous unit was too big for the car and had side exits so the piping was loooong and fukl of inefficient bends. my new unit is thicker and is a V mount with top exits which will dramatically simplify the charge piping. I'll take some pics of the oil cooler too, IIRC its something like 120 CI fed by 10AN SS lines.

If the girdle is removed, I place some wood in the bottom of the bin and drill some holes in the wood for the studs to slide down into. The weight of the block sits on the wood and not on the studs.
