I think UPS will only go 150lbs to a business address and 90lbs to a
residential.

Cheers,

Are you sure, Jim? UPS will now carry 150 pounds. Day before yesterday
I lifted a complete A/T and final drive assembly from the floor to a
workbench, and I don't think I'm capable of lifting 150 these days. I
think it would be wise to drain it, pack it and weigh it before
shopping for a shipper.
