I have used Oak Harbor Freight a few times to ship engines and other large
objects ( a westy top to Alaska from southern Oregon even ) .
I've had engines shipped several state away for around 200 bucks by Oak
Harbor Freight

I would figure  250 lbs for the complete engine.
They often give a quote on the phone ...
but when you get there, is when they  weigh it and tell you the actual cost
based on the exact weight.
