Did you just have to ship the engine? Did they need the harness, ecu, etc?

Crower should collect the engine on Monday... Also they will not be starting from scratch because NashVegasEX sent his cam to be regrounded, so they have an idea of the specs on our stock cams...

Just in cash anyone was wondering how much it cost to ship the engine to Crower in San Diego.. It costed me $503. US dollars (just to send it).. Boy am I broke

P.S Eddie the engine was flown to Miami and it is now being trucked to Cali.. so I will send the airway bill for brian to get it. This should be on Tueday as planned.

Anyone feel free to donate to me!!!!

Does $503 cover round trip delivery or just one way?

The update is :- There are no shipments either by Air or Sea that go directly into California from my country except UPS & FedEx but they have a weight restriction of 150 lbs (the engine total weight was 253 lbs) so what had to be done was to send it via Air freight to Miami and then truck it to California. I call the shippers today and I was told that it is somewhere on route from Miami to California but the expected delivery date is tuesday provided that there are no hold back (in customs in the US etc) Brian will get the air way bill probably tomorrow or Monday (have to go on work to use the fax machine )for him to organise it.

that's awesome.

Time it takes to remove engine - few hours? (i have no idea..somebody help me out)
Money it costs to send engine to Crower - $503
The fact that you will get the first fully built 7thgen by crower returned in about 6 monthes - priceless.
