Shipping costs.....shipping an engine across the country can be costly, 
but there are some ways to reduce the cost.  I shipped a crated Lycoming 
I0-360 from CA to PA for $287 and a VW from CA to NY for $274.  The 
first quote I received from the trucking company for the VW was over 
$1200.  I began negotiating and two things reduced the quote: I 
specified that it did not matter when the engine was shipped, and it did 
not matter how long it took to arrive at the destination.  In both cases 
shipping took less than seven days.  Another thing is to prepay the 
shipping.  If you can, specify delivery to a business address to also 
lower the cost.
Hope this helps, best wishes for tailwinds.
