I have my motor back from Koerner Racing.
I used a plastic engine shipping crate.

I shipped the short block down to Paul in it, and Paul shipped the complete motor back up in it.

I won't be needing it for the next 8 months or so. If someone has a need for it. I'll label it and ship it to you, or your builder if you pay the shipping up front.

When you are done, you can pay to ship the empty back to me, or we can pay it forward and offer it to another member. I do insist that the user be a PY member. And that the timing work for me.

Otherwise if the crate is stuck somewhere and I can't get it back, I'll consider you are then buying it for $200.00 and call it due.

NOTE: The complete motor rubbed on the insides of the plastic at the inside exhaust ports edges of the heads.
- The oil filter adapter outside diameter edge rubbed a small bit also. You could ship without that on.
- On my 67 block the dipstick tube end rubbed a small amount.

I think if you put about 1" of some hard foam under the oil pan this rubbing wouldnt happen as the taper gets wider on the bottom tub as it gets closer to the top.
Lots of room front and back and on top.

It all fit and nothing was bent or damaged.

Just putting this out there. If anyone is interested post here in this thread.
Moderators can move this if it makes sense elsewhere.

Wow! That's very generous. I hope when I get ready to build my engine, I can take advantage of your generosity and "pay it forward". Thanks James!

My motor is estimated to be complete next June or July at Butler.

Check back when you know more and we can set it up.

1. Post a photo of the crate.

2. Get your $200 deposit up front, refundable to the borrower AFTER the crate is returned to you. Saves a lot of heartache and angry posts 'n' PMs. Also gives the borrower incentive to get it back to you now, instead of whenever he "gets around to it".

Thanks Vidguy.
I have no problem with the deposit
