I travel all over the US for work. Sometimes I have my company pick up but I fly to a lot of places. Anyhow I was thinking if I found a decent type 1 engine in, say Seattle, Washington how could I ship it home to the Rutland, Vermont area. I know there is a sticky on shipping vehicles but how about heavy items like an engine? Any ideas? I was thinking I should be able to get my hands on a pallet and get some plywood at say Home Depot along with some screws, bolts etc.
