When you look at the GW  engine, there is a tab for "shipping" where they talk about the need to have a loading dock for forklifting, and mention that door to door without a loading doc adds $95 each way for a liftgate truck.  Truck freight only:  https://www.gowesty.com/product/made-in-usa/24110/2200cc-engine-?v=   You will want to ship in the crate they used because there is a $300 core charge on it.  You can take the crate to a freight company and they will handle it what ever way GW wants it.

Well, that was going to be my next question. Who to ship with. I am North of North Dakota and was going to take it there to ship when the border reopens. 

I don’t see where it says it must be on a pallet? I was going to use the crate that mine came in. 

Thanks
