Default WTK: Cheap & Easy Engine Transport?

I have a free L-98 waiting on me in California. I'm trying to determine the cheapest and easiest way to have it transported to Louisiana. I had one gentleman who does car transport that was going to transport it for $150, but he's now working only on the East Coast.

Anyone had any engines transported lately? Thanks,

Rome

Road Trip! Find someone with a pick up truck and take a few days vacation. Maybe you'll have an adventure of a lifetime, you never know.

Rome, could you block it on a pallet and strap it? I think shipping would be 300 bux+/- ???????? How much would a road trip cost vs. shipping??

I used them to send a motor from Florida to California. They are really reasonable.
