FedEx freight works well. Especially if you want liftgate service.

Check into Fastenal. Sounds strange but I've used them before.

They give you several options with all the major carriers, many of which are cheaper in some areas of the country, so the diversity really helps.

Fastenall is a big hassle and you still have to deliver and pick up from their store.

Be very careful about how your engine is rated and crated. A shippers responsibility can go from almost zero to full value depending on how it's rated. A great deal of the cost to the consignor is taken up by insurance. This ain't my first rodeo.

If anyone wants plans to build a surefire crate I wrote up an article years ago for the 356 Registry on how to do it. You would have to expand somewhat for a 911 motor but the principals are the same. Like Jim, also not my first rodeo. My crates aren't always pretty but they've gone around the world and never failed!
