Not for UPS.
Always cheaper to ship fewer packages with UPS.
Only reason to ship more packages is if total weight exceeds 150lbs.

Its a lot cheaper if you have the bellhousing and input shaft removed.
Ease to do. Ship these seperately. Smaller and lighter, box it
up good, and don't tell anyone what is in there.
