I deadlifted one out of a crate last week (not by choice), fully dressed. I'd guess you're sitting right on 400 pounds... I want to say 375-400 at the high end.

400 is about right.

just an fyi, if your not shipping it by air then round down, the prominent shippers really don't care about pounds when it's on the ground as much as dimensions so if you can get it on something smaller than a standard size crate you will save the most, also if you can't ship it to a bus address then have them hold it at the station. it can cost you an extra $300 for resi delivery depending on loc.

www.freightquote.com register and find a drop off terminal to drop off terminal, much cheaper or if you have a friend with a business that has a forklift.

I spent about $1 a pound to ship a pallet through R+I. That was with residential pickup and delivery.

Lart, my man. You have to drain the oil before you ship

Nice visual. Just make sure the car is cooled off or you'll have a new and somewhat profound understanding of your engine bay temp.

If your looking for a shipper try www.forwardair.com

I shipped an NA 2.5l a couple of months ago for about $200 or so dollars through them.
